I rank Ja’Marr Chase as the top wide receiver in the NFL entering the 2026-27 regular season.
Chase has yet to amass fewer than 1,000 receiving yards in any of his five NFL seasons.
Two years ago, Chase completed the wide receiver triple crown, leading the league in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
It gives him a narrow edge over Justin Jefferson as the top receiver. Although he posted a down year in 2025, Jefferson remains a previous OPOY winner with six straight 1,000-yard seasons.
