Ja'Marr Chase is in a similar position to at WR: catxhes, yards, TDs. Additionally, with 1 more TD Chase would tie Carl Pickens for the Bengal record for a season and become the 11th member of the 100/1 club at WR, averaging 100 yards per game and 1 TD per game for a season.
Trey Hendrickson is also trying to lead the league in sacks. He would be the first Bengal to do do since sacks became an official stat, though Coy Bacon's 21.5 unofficially led the NFL in 1976.

Here is where they stand:
1. Burrow. Leads the NFL in Completions (423), Yards (4,641) and TD passes (42). Here are his closest challengers:
Comp (423): Mahommes (392), G. Smith (387), Matfield (386), Goff (363).
Mahommes is not playing. If Joe completes 25, Smith would need 70 to catch him.
Yards (4,641): Goff (4,398), Mayfield (4,279), Darmold (4,153).
If Joe puts up 250, Goff would need 493 to catch him, Mayfield over 600.
TDs (42): Jackson (39), Mayfield (39), Goff (36), Darnold (35).
Three from Joe would likely put this out of reach. But Mayfield did just toss 5 last week, I think.
--------------------
2. Chase leads the league with 117 receptions, 1,612 yards, and 16 TDs. Here are the chasers:
Catches (117): St. Brown (109), Bowers (108), McBride (104), Nabers (104), Lamb (101), Jefferson (100).
Lamb is shut down and Jefferson too far back. McBride and Naners could hit 117 with big games, and St. Brown & Bowers could top 120. But if Chase gets to, say 125, thst is gonna be tough to catch.
Yards (1,612): Jefferson (1,479), Lamb (1,194).
Everyone is 400 yards behind save for Jefferson at 133. If Chase puts up 100, he'd need 233. Not impossible.
TDs (16): St. Brown (12), McLaurin (12), Evans (11), Higgins (10), Jefferson (10), Andrews (10), B. Thomas (10).
This feels out of reach, but I guess 4 is not impossible. Dang that drop last week, I wanted the Bengals record in 16 and the 100/1 thing. Needs 1 to get each.

3. Hendrickson. Tied for the league lead in sacks with Garrett with 14 each.
Sacks (14): Garrett (14), D. Hunter, Hou (12), TJ Watt, Pitt (11.5), Va Noy, Bal (11.5), Van Ginkel, Min (11.5), Bonitto, Den (11.5), Greenard, Min (11), W. Anderson, Hou (11), Fowler, Wash (10.5), McDonald, NYJ (10).
Thanks for this Ike. Great thread and post with all the intricacies. At the very least we can be proud of these guys this year and hope they
win their respective stat races. Joe, Ja'Marr and Trey are great players to build a team around. Hope they all win their crowns and somehow
we sneak into the Playoffs as well, we will see.

When you target Ja'Marr a lot it usually leads to great things and wins.
