Ja'Marr Chase has been rated a 99 overall in Madden NFL 27, cementing his status as one of the NFL’s top wide receivers. The Cincinnati Bengals star joins just five other players with the game’s highest rating.
What does a 99 rating mean?
A 99 rating in Madden NFL 27 places Chase among the elite. Only six players received this honor, including quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen. The rating reflects Chase’s dominance despite playing with two different quarterbacks last season.
How did Chase perform last year?
Chase caught 125 passes for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025. He started the year with Joe Burrow, who missed time due to injury. When Burrow returned, Chase thrived with veteran Joe Flacco, catching 38 passes in their first three games together.
Why is this rating significant?
Chase’s 99 rating highlights his consistency and skill. If he stays healthy, he could become the greatest Bengals receiver ever. His ability to produce with different quarterbacks proves his versatility and reliability.
The other 99-rated players in Madden NFL 27 are Matthew Stafford (Los Angeles Rams), Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills), and Trey McBride (Arizona Cardinals). Chase’s inclusion in this group underscores his place among the NFL’s best.
