1. Cincinnati Bengals (No. 5)

This would be a welcomed reunion for Ja’Marr Chase as he’d join forces with his former quarterback Joe Burrow in Cincinnati.

If there’s going to be a “perfect” scenario for Chase, the Bengals would be just that. Not only would he already have a rapport with his quarterback, he’d be joining one of the brightest young offenses in the league with Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Joe Mixon. Adding another top-tier receiver to that mix would only make the Bengals contenders sooner rather than later.

In Cincinnati, Chase wouldn’t even have to be a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver right away either. He could be eased into that role much like Justin Jefferson was in Minnesota last year.

Chase could start out as a WR3 option and then become the second or first option for Burrow and the passing attack. Either way, that trio of wide outs would cause problems for just about any defense and no one would be able to focus or double any of them. Three capable receivers would be a defense’s worst nightmare.

Want to see Burrow and Chase unite in Cincinnati after the two combined for career seasons and a national title in 2019? Same.
