Bengals receive bold Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins claim amid ESPN's No. 1 WR ranking originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Cincinnati Bengals fans have been spoiled with some of the best wide receivers in the NFL in recent history, including two incredible players on the roster right now.
Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are arguably the best WR duo in the league. Both are incredible, and while Higgins is the clear No. 2 in Cincinnati, he could be the No. 1 on a lot of other teams around the league.
ESPN analyst Mike Clay also believes in this WR duo. But he went a step further, claiming that "none can match" this WR duo around the NFL amid his No. 1 ranking of the Bengals WR room this season.
ESPN analyst claims 'none can match' Higgins and Chase"Best: Cincinnati Bengals. There were a few strong candidates here, but none can match Cincinnati's duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins," Clay writes.
Chase and Higgins are arguably the best WR duo in the league, and Clay believes that there isn't another duo that can match what these two Bengals receivers do.
Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are a great duo for the Los Angeles Rams and rank second in Clay's ranking. George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys, and the Detroit Lions WR duo of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams are great.
But, compared to Higgins and Chase, Clay doesn't believe any of those WR duos can match what the Bengals duo could do.
It's a bold claim from Clay, but it's not that shocking. Higgins, as Clay notes, has the "fourth-most TD catches in the league over the past two seasons (21)."

Higgins is the No. 2 WR, but he's fourth in the NFL in touchdown receptions the last two years. That's a ridiculous situation that no other team really has around the league.
That's especially true because Chase is probably the best receiver in the league right now. Having both Chase and Higgins on the same offense is borderline unfair.
Clay believes that "none can match" the WR duo of Higgins and Chase, and while there are some fun duos around the league, the massive upside of this Bengals duo is hard to beat, let alone match.
The Bengals earned Clay's top-ranked WR room, as Higgins, Chase, and even depth options in Andrei Iosivas and Colbie Young make for a great room that can't really compare to any other WR group in the league.
