What happened: Ja'Marr Chase has 43 receptions for 492 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2026 through 7 games. Joe Burrow has thrown 195-of-267 for 2,115 yards, 20 touchdowns and 6 interceptions over the same span.

Why it matters: Cincinnati entered Week 9 at 5-2 with the Nov. 10 trade deadline approaching, and the Bengals have been linked to receiver help. Chase, drafted fifth overall out of LSU in 2021, remains the focal point of Burrow's passing game.

What to watch: The NFL trade window closes Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.
