Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase leads all AFC wide receivers in Pro Bowl voting so far.

Chase, owner of 50 catches, 906 yards and eight touchdowns on an 18.1 per-catch average, has 97,868 votes so far, tops in the AFC.

Per the NFL’s updated release, Chase is tops in the AFC but behind Cooper Kupp at wide receiver, as the Los Angeles Rams star has 120,010 votes and is a top-five vote-getter overall.

Chase has cooled off in recent games, not hitting the 50-yard mark in four straight games now. But his impact can’t go overlooked — defenses are giving him Davante Adams-level respect now, which most recently helped the team earn a 41-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Bengals had Geno Atkins earn a Pro Bowl nod in 2019, but an offensive player hasn’t made it since A.J. Green in 2017.
