Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been nominated for FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week for Week 2, the NFL announced today.
Chase hauled in 14 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown in Cincinnati's 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He cleared 400 career receptions in the first half, tying Julio Jones and Jarvis Landry as the fifth-fastest player in NFL history to hit the mark (64 games).
Sunday was Chase's most yards and catches in a game since he caught 14 balls for 177 yards on Monday Night Football against the Cowboys in Week 14 of last season. The win was also Chase's 20th-career game with 100 or more yards, tying Bengals legend Isaac Curtis for third-most in franchise history.
FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week Voting
Vote for WR Ja'Marr Chase as FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week for his performance in Week 2.
This is the second year of the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Awards' new format, which allows wide receivers and tight ends to be eligible for the award each week and at the end of the season. Chase was named one of the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Year after winning the Triple Crown in 2024, joining Bills QB Josh Allen at the 2025 NFL Honors in February. He was awarded Air & Ground Player of the Week twice last season in Weeks 5 and 10.
Voting opened Monday and will close Wednesday at 3 p.m. Fans can vote at NFL.com/FedEx, on X via the official NFL account or on the NFL mobile app.
This year, FedEx is teaming up with Feeding America: Each week, $2,000 donations will be made in the name of the winning players ($4,000 total) to Feeding America to help combat food insecurity across the country. Since the start of the FedEx Air & Ground program, FedEx has donated nearly $3 million to different nonprofit organizations.
