Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Eclipses 100-yard mark in loss
Rotowire
Chase brought in six of eight targets for 111 yards in the Bengals' 47-42 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Chase played a rare second fiddle to fellow wideout Tee Higgins, who recorded one more reception and target apiece while also outpacing Chase by 10 yards. Nevertheless, Chase still continued to display excellent chemistry with Joe Flacco, who has peppered him with an astounding 50 targets in the last three games alone. Chase has eclipsed the century mark on four occasions overall, and he's carrying a bloated 76-831-5 receiving line into a Week 11 road matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 16 following a Week 10 bye.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
Chase is averaging 28.1 PPR Fantasy points per game in three games with Joe Flacco. He has averaged an insane 18 targets per game in those three games. This week, he faces a Bears defense that has given up 2.1 PPR Fantasy points per target to opposing wide receivers. I have Chase projected for three more half PPR points than any other wide receiver on the main slate.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Targeted 19 times in Week 8 loss
Rotowire
Chase caught 12 of 19 targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets.
After setting a franchise record with 23 targets in the Week 7 win over Pittsburgh, Chase continued to see heavy volume from Joe Flacco, though a Jets secondary missing Sauce Gardner (concussion) did a surprisingly decent job of keeping Chase in check. Chase's fantasy managers won't be too disappointed with this outing, especially in PPR formats, though the Bengals will be kicking themselves for getting outscored 23-7 in the fourth quarter by a previously winless Jets team. Given how frequently Flacco looks his way, Chase has returned to the elite echelon of fantasy wide receivers ahead of a Week 9 home game versus the Bears.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: In line to play Sunday
Rotowire
Chase (illness), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game against Green Bay, is "trending toward playing," NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Chase was deemed questionable entering the weekend after missing Friday's practice due to an illness. The star wideout appears to be doing better, though Schultz notes that the Bengals will see how he feels Sunday morning before making a final decision on his status versus the Packers. Should Chase indeed be able to suit up, he'll be working with a new quarterback, as veteran Joe Flacco is slated to start behind center for Cincinnati after the team acquired him in a trade with Cleveland on Tuesday.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Does little with five catches
Rotowire
Chase secured five of eight targets for 23 yards in the Bengals' 28-3 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.
Chase led the Bengals in receptions, but on a night when Jake Browning threw for only 125 yards, that slotting didn't come close to leading to any meaningful fantasy production. Chase has recorded 10 receptions in his first two full games with Browning as his quarterback, but he's averaging only 7.3 yards per reception in that span, with only one of those catches going for 20-plus yards. If Browning remains under center for a Week 5 home matchup against the Lions, Chase will be hard to trust against a talented Detroit defense irrespective of his upside.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Serviceable numbers in rout
Rotowire
Chase secured five of six targets for 50 yards, rushed once for nine yards and lost a fumble in the Bengals' 48-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Chase was part of the collateral damage of a miserable day for the Bengals on both sides of the ball. The aggressive Vikings defense capitalized on Jake Browning's presence under center to collect two interceptions, three sacks and three fumble recoveries, but Chase still managed to tie for the team lead in receptions and also set the pace in receiving yards and targets. The star wideout's production will naturally be hard to trust on a week-to-week basis for as long as Joe Burrow (IR, toe) remains out, but Chase will undoubtedly remain heavily involved in an unenviable Week 4 road matchup against the Broncos on Monday night, Sept. 29.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Quiet 2025 debut
Rotowire
Chase recorded two receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.
The Bengals managed a surprisingly low 141 net yards, limiting the production of all their skill-position players. Chase tied for the team lead with five targets -- Joe Burrow attempted only 23 passes -- and also was responsible for the team's longest play from scrimmage on a 20-yard catch midway through the second quarter. While it was a disappointing start to the season, Chase and the entire Cincinnati offense should produce better in Week 2 against Jacksonville.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Plays one drive
Rotowire
Chase caught his lone target for 11 yards in Monday's preseason win at Washington.
Chase played just one drive Monday night, after catching four passes for 71 yards and a TD on two series in Cincinnati's preseason opener. He'll likely be held out of the final preseason game, ahead of a Week 1 contest at Cleveland against a defense led by DE Myles Garrett and CB Denzel Ward. Chase caught 11 of 14 targets for 152 yards and two TDs in his two matchups with Cleveland last season, after having just one big game against the Browns through his first three years in the league.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Puts up 71 yards on two drives
Rotowire
Chase caught each of his four targets for 71 yards in Thursday's preseason game at Philadelphia.
Chase caught three passes on the opening drive, with a fourth (in the end zone) wiped out by a blocking penalty. He made it back to the end zone on the following drive, taking a short pass the distance from 36 yards out. The Bengals then pulled most of their starters, including Chase and QB Burrow. They may give their key players more run in the second week of the preseason, Aug. 18 against Washington, although there's not much reason to risk Chase's health when he already appears in mid-season form.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Signs record-setting deal with CIN
Rotowire
Chase and the Bengals agreed on a four-year, $161 million contract extension with $112 million guaranteed Sunday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Chase officially has gotten his massive deal, which makes him the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history. In total, he's now under contract for the next five years, in line to earn $182.816 million, per Schultz. The wide receiver has been nothing short of elite during his four-year career with the Bengals, most recently winning the NFL's "triple crown" in 2024, catching 127 of 175 targets for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns over 17 regular-season games. Additionally, teammate Tee Higgins and Cincinnati agreed on a four-year, $115 million deal Sunday, keeping both of Joe Burrow's top pass catchers under contract for the foreseeable future.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Commands 15 targets in OT win
Rotowire
Chase recorded nine receptions on 15 targets for 102 yards in Saturday's 30-24 overtime win against the Broncos.
The Bengals' passing offense remained heavily concentrated between Chase and Tee Higgins, while Mike Gesicki also had significant contributions. Chase led the way with 15 targets, with his most explosive play being 38 yards to set up the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter. He was otherwise held in check from a yardage perspective, though he did manage his second 100-yard performance in five games since the Bengals' bye.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Team-high receiving yardage in win
Rotowire
Chase secured six of eight targets for 97 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for seven yards in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Chase set the pace in receiving yards for the Bengals on the afternoon while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The ultra-talented receiver has exceeded 85 receiving yards in four consecutive games, while his 32-yard scoring grab in the fourth quarter pushed his touchdown total to nine over his last six games.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Nine catches in Week 15 win
Rotowire
Chase caught nine of 11 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans.
Chase didn't account for any of Joe Burrow's three first-half touchdown passes, but the star wideout posted a team-high 79 receiving yards heading into the locker room. The Bengals nursed a comfortable lead throughout the second half and didn't turn to the air much, though Chase still finished with team-leading totals in targets, catches and receiving yards. Chase will look to add to his impressive season totals of 102 catches for 1,413 yards and 15 touchdowns in Week 16 against the Browns.

Chase corralled 14 of his 18 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns while taking his only rushing attempt for 14 yards in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.
Chase shined under the bright lights in Arlington, TX with a signature performance that helped lift his team back into the playoff race. The LSU product teamed up with college QB Joe Burrow to connect for two scores on a season-high 14 connections, including the game-winning touchdown to put away the Cowboys on Monday. Chase carries a ridiculous 93-1,319-15 receiving line into Sunday's road tilt against Tennessee.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Logs full practice Friday
Rotowire
Chase (ankle) practiced fully Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Chase was limited Thursday in the first session of Week 14 prep due to an ankle injury, but he proceeded to tell Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer that he returned to full participation Friday, which now has been confirmed. Chase is in the middle of putting together the most productive season of his four-year career, sitting at 79 catches (on 109 targets) for 1,142 yards and 13 touchdowns through 12 contests.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Limited by ankle issue
Rotowire
Chase was a limited participant at practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.
Chase logged a 97 percent snap share in the Bengals' Week 13 loss to the Steelers, a game in which he recorded six catches (on nine targets) for 86 yards and a touchdown. It's unclear if the wideout's ankle issue stems from that contest, or if it's something that materialized during Thursday's practice. Either way, Chase's status is now worth monitoring in advance of Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Held in check by Raiders
Rotowire
Chase secured seven of 11 targets for 43 yards in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Chase led the Bengals in receptions and targets but could do little with his opportunities, finishing with his second-lowest yardage total of the season. He's uncharacteristically posted 55 receiving yards or fewer in three straight contests, but he also has back-to-back 11-target tallies heading into a Week 10 road matchup Thursday night versus a Ravens team he put up a season-best 10-193-2 line against in Week 5.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Another two-TD effort Sunday
Rotowire
Chase caught 10 of 12 targets for 193 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.
It was Chase's best single-game performance since he dropped a 15-192-3 line on the Cardinals in Week 5 of last season. The fourth-year wideout has found his groove after a sluggish start to the current campaign, catching 19 of 25 targets for 396 yards and five TDs over the last three games, and Chase isn't likely to slow down any time soon with the Bengals' defense playing so poorly and forcing Joe Burrow to air it out. Chase will look to get into the end zone again in Week 6 against the Giants.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Long TD makes day
Rotowire
Chase recorded three catches on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Panthers.
Chase was surprisingly relatively uninvolved in the offense, as Tee Higgins drew 10 targets and also led the team in receptions. However, Chase had the most impactful performance of the day thanks primarily to a 63-yard touchdown, during which he bounced off at least three potential tacklers over the middle of the field before sprinting down the sideline for the long score. After a modest start to the season, Chase has nine receptions for 203 yards and three touchdowns combined across the last two contests.
