STM Take
An all-time great receiver whose only ceiling is his quarterback's health.
The case for
- Back-to-back first-team All-Pros (2024, 2025) and five straight Pro Bowls; the trophy case is in the all-time elite bracket.
- 2024 NFL triple crown (receptions, yards, TDs) plus the 2021 OROY; the resume has no holes left.
The worry
- Joe Burrow's STTM #13 tier 4 rank in 2025 reflects the games-missed risk; Chase's ceiling is tied to QB availability.
- Recent game log includes a 6 PPR week (Wk 11) when Burrow was out; the floor games happen when the QB sits.
What to watch: Whether Burrow plays 17 games in 2026; Chase's stat-line scales linearly with his QB's availability.
Full take and bio
Chase at STTM #4 tier 1 in 2025 closes a four-year stretch of tier-1 finishes punctuated by the 2024 triple crown and back-to-back first-team All-Pro nods. The career 13-plus YPC on 520 catches matches the all-time elite tier. The Burrow injury-availability cap is the only ceiling argument; the talent and rank have nothing left to prove.
Chase was born in Harvey, Louisiana, played at Archbishop Rummel, and won the 2019 Biletnikoff Award and a CFP national title at LSU before the Bengals took him fifth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has since made five straight Pro Bowls (2021-2025), won 2021 OROY, earned first-team All-Pro in 2024 and 2025, and won the 2024 receiving triple crown (yards, receptions, TDs). Career line is 520 catches for 6,837 yards and 54 TDs across five seasons.
