As a diehard fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, I still need to pinch myself sometimes knowing Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase are in stripes on Sundays.
The Bengals' star duo has now earned the respect from Madden creators as both guys are top players in their respective positions this season.
Burrow enters the chat as the third-ranked quarterback in Madden 26, behind Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, with a 97 overall ranking.
Chase enters the chat as the top-ranked wide receiver in Madden 26 with a 99, yes
99, overall ranking.
Not only did Chase win the triple crown last season, but he did so as the youngest WR in the history of the NFL.
Both Burrow and Chase are coming off their best seasons of their young professional careers and have made it clear they are a superstar dynamic duo.
Burrow finished 2025 with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, both first across the league.
Chase finished 2025 with 127 receptions, 1,708 receiving yards, and 17 touchdowns... All first across the league.
It will not only be fun to watch this duo back in action in September, but it will also be fun to play with the two on Madden this upcoming season as well.
