Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow are the best QB-WR duo in the NFL. They played together at LSU and have been unstoppable at times.
What makes them the best?
Their chemistry is unmatched, with Burrow often looking for Chase throughout the campaign. In 2024, Burrow led the league in completions, touchdowns, and passing yards, while Chase led the league in receiving yards, receptions, touchdowns, and pass targets.
Why it matters for Ja'Marr Chase
Chase had a tremendous season in 2025 despite Burrow only playing in eight games. He would surely prefer to have Burrow on the field for a full season. The Bengals stars will remind the NFL of how good they can be together if they stay on the field.
What comes next?
The Bengals are hoping to compete at a high level, and they need Burrow and Chase to lead the way. If they can stay healthy, they will be a force to be reckoned with. Burrow is 29, and Chase is 26, so they're still in their prime.
The Bengals have a number of stars on their roster, but Burrow and Chase are the most important. They have been on the field together, and the results have been impressive. In 2024, they were nearly unstoppable, with Burrow and Chase putting up elite numbers.
Burrow's injury concerns have limited their ceiling as a duo. However, when they're on the field together, they're the best. The Los Angeles Rams' Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua, and the New England Patriots' Drake Maye and AJ Brown, have arguments as well, but Burrow and Chase are still the top duo.
The Bengals will benefit overall if Burrow and Chase can stay on the field. They're looking to play at a high level this season, and if they can accomplish that, they'll be a tough team to beat. Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase are still the best QB-WR duo in the NFL, and they're looking to prove it again this season.
Burrow was clearly looking for Chase throughout the 2024 campaign. Both players ended up having elite seasons, with Burrow leading the league in completions, touchdowns, and passing yards, and Chase leading the league in receiving yards, receptions, touchdowns, and pass targets.
The Bengals stars will remind the NFL of how good they can be together if they're both able to stay on the field for most of the upcoming campaign. And if they're able to accomplish that, the Bengals will certainly benefit overall. Cincinnati is hoping to compete at a high level, and the team certainly needs Burrow and Chase to lead the way.
Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow are still the best QB-WR duo in the NFL, and they will be looking to play at a high level once again this season. They have the chemistry and the talent to dominate the league, and if they can stay healthy, they'll be a force to be reckoned with.
