CINCINNATI – Ja’Marr Chase is on pace to do something only one other Cincinnati Bengals player has done.

League leader in receiving yards.

Chase currently tops the list with 620 yards, 44 more than Tampa Bay’s Chris Godwin, who just suffered a season-ending ankle injury on Monday night.

The only other Bengals player to lead the league in rushing yards was Chad Johnson, who passed the Indianapolis Colts’ Marvin Harrison by 3 yards in 2006.

Johnson had 1,369 and Harrison 1,366. Reggie Wayne, Harrison’s Indianapolis teammate, was third with 1,310 points.

Chase’s best result was his rookie year in 2021, when he finished fourth with a career-high 1,455 yards.

It was only the ninth time in Bengals history that a player finished in the top five in receiving yards.

Johnson accomplished the feat four times (third in 2005, third in 2007 and fourth in 2003), while AJ Green (fifth in 2013), Eddie Brown (third in 1988), Cris Collinsworth (fourth in the year of the strike in 1982) and Isaac Curtis (the second in 1975).

After playing seven of 17 games, Chase is now at 41 percent homers and can match Johnson as the only Cincinnati players leading the league.

If you’re wondering how the previous leaders finished the season through seven weeks, here’s the list:

2023 – Tyreek Hill (first)

2022 – Tyreek Hill (second)

2021 – Cooper Kupp (first)

2020 – DeAndre Hopkins (third)
