Bengals 2026 Pro Bowl Games Potentials: Wide Receivers

Voting for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games wraps up Monday. We'll be taking a look at a few Bengals who deserve to be recognized in San Francisco during Super Bowl week. Let's continue with three Bengals receivers: Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and return specialist Charlie Jones.

Chase has followed up his 2024 Triple Crown season with another strong campaign in 2025. Despite QB Joe Burrow missing time, Chase ranks fourth in the NFL with 1,015 yards, third with 91 receptions and first with 139 targets. The LSU product also sits second among receivers with 460 yards after the catch.

He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week after his 16-catch performance in Week 7 against the Steelers, the fifth time he's received the honor. The 16 receptions marked the most in the NFL by a player this season and the most in team history. He also eclipsed 6,000 career receiving yards during Week 7, becoming the fifth-fastest player in NFL history to reach the mark.

Chase crossed the 1,000-yard threshold for the season in Week 14, becoming the fifth player in NFL history to hit the mark in each of his first five seasons. He currently sits fourth all time for receiving yards in a player's first five seasons but can climb into second place with 345 yards over the last four games. He's also 14 catches away from 500 in his career entering his 75th game Sunday against the Ravens. His current 486 total ranks third-most all time within a player's first 75 games.

Higgins is in the middle of one of the best seasons of his career. The wideout has nine receiving touchdowns so far, ranking second in the NFL behind Davante Adams. Higgins has multiple games this season with two touchdowns, including Week 14 in Buffalo. His best game of the season came in Week 9 against the Bears, hauling in nine receptions for 121 yards and two scores. He also caught 10 passes in the Week 7 Thursday Night Football win over the Steelers, including the game-sealing catch to set up K Evan McPherson’s walk-off field goal.

While his home touchdown streak was snapped in Week 12 against the Patriots, Higgins had scored at least one touchdown in nine straight home contests, the longest streak in Bengals history and the longest among active players in the NFL. The Clemson product also crossed career milestones this season, becoming the fifth-fastest player in franchise history to clear 5,000 receiving yards, doing so in 79 career games.

Vote for Tee Higgins here.

Jones has been one of the most dangerous return specialists in the league this season. The third-year pro from Purdue opened Week 9 against the Bears with a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, the third-longest kickoff return in the NFL this season. He became the first player in franchise history to have multiple kickoff returns of at least 98 yards after also housing a 100-yard return in Week 7 last season against the Browns.

Jones has 1,064 total kick return yards this season, the fourth most in the NFL, and his 41 kickoff return attempts also rank fourth.
