The Thursday night matchup between the Ravens and the Bengals was an electric one, with Baltimore coming out on top 35-34 after a failed two-point conversion by Cincinnati with 38 seconds left in the game.

But while the Ravens earned a huge division win behind Lamar Jackson’s incredible performance, he wasn’t the most impressive player on the field on Thursday.

Ja’Marr Chase was out of this world.

The fourth-year receiver finished the day with a whopping 11 catches for 264 receiving yards and three touchdown catches. Entering Sunday’s slate, Chase now leads the league in receiving yards (981) and touchdown catches (10)— the first player this season to reach 900 in the former category and 10 in the latter. 

This made us think, just where does this performance rank from a fantasy football perspective? We broke down the numbers and found that Chase’s Thursday night performance ranks in the top four single-game performances among all wide receivers over the last 25 seasons. 

Whether you look at it from a half-point points per reception (PPR) standpoint, full-point PPR viewpoint, or use the standard fantasy scoring method— Chase’s stat-line ranks fourth in all three since 2000.

What’s even more impressive is that it’s not even the best fantasy performance of his career. He is now the only receiver over the last 25 seasons to have two fantasy outings that each rank in the top 10 in that span, again from a half-point PPR, full-point PPR, or standard scoring perspective. Chase is also the first player in NFL history to have multiple career games with 250 receiving yards and multiple touchdown catches.
