If Chase keeps up his current season's pace and then never gets hurt again while averaging 1,700 yard/15 TD seasons EACH OF THE NEXT TEN YEARS (through his age 34 season) he would still be shy of Jerry Rice's career yardage and TDs total.
The difference between Jerry Rice and the all-time #2 career receiving yards and #2 career receiving TDs is a larger number than Chase currently has for either in his career right now.

(Chase has been the best WR in the NFL this year, but his current ypg is just 0.6 higher than Justin Jefferson's career average ypg. Smoking him in TDs though, but getting smoked in wins.)
Edit: Also, my reply wasn't meant as serious conversation to the OP. Chase is a stud and there isn't much debate to be had about his talent. There is no need to raise a question about whether he has peaked because he continues to produce. So if he has peaked, who cares because he's elite.
