CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at San Francisco 49ers
It's been a strange start to the season for Ja'Marr Chase, partly due to the inconsistency of the Bengals offense. Chase has had double-digit targets in three of the past four games. However, he has only had 100+ receiving yards in two of those games. He also had a three-touchdown game which is great except that he has had zero touchdowns in all his other games.

Chase faces the 49ers who are surprisingly ranked 23rd in aFPA to wide receivers. If the bye week helped QB Joe Burrow's calf get better, it will help Chase.

Start Chase as one of the top fantasy receivers for Week 8. The Bengals have had extra time to prepare for this game and the Niners defense has shown some weaknesses in pass defense.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks
It was the Ja'Marr Chase show last week. With Tee Higgins out, Chase was THE passing game with crazy fantasy numbers. He had 19 targets which produced 15 receptions for 192 yards and three touchdowns. Basically unstoppable.

Chase faces the Seahawks who are ranked dead last in aFPA to wide receivers. With Higgins expected to be out again, Chase will be the focus once again. And with a very favorable matchup, expect him to have another big game.

Start Chase as the top fantasy wide receiver for Week 6. Don't expect a repeat of those numbers from last week, but they will be good nonetheless.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Arizona Cardinals
Ja'Marr Chase has put together back-to-back solid games for the Bengals, although last week's numbers weren't on par with two weeks ago. Cincinnati's offense continues to struggle as a whole and Joe Burrow's injury has slowed him down. But Chase is still going to be targeted which makes him a fantasy asset.

The Cardinals are up next and are ranked 15th in aFPA to wide receivers. Eventually, the Bengals must break out of this funk and this is a good opportunity which of course will trickle down to Chase.

Start Chase as a top-five fantasy wide receiver for Week 5. He should eclipse to 100-yard mark and will have numbers that will warrant his WR1 ranking.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Tennessee Titans
Ja'Marr Chase finally showed up on Monday night with 12 receptions on 15 targets, and 141 receiving yards. He still is looking for his first touchdown reception, but those will come. QB Joe Burrow was looking for Chase from the first snap and it worked out well as the Bengals got the win. Expect more of that as Burrow feels better with his calf injury.

Chase faces the Titans who are 29th in aFPA to wide receivers. Even if Tennessee keys on him, Chase will get his targets and catches.

Start Chase as a top 5 fantasy wide receiver.for Week 4. The Cincy offense looked better and that should mean Chase continues to put up numbers as one of the top fantasy receivers in the NFL.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Los Angeles Rams
It has been a slow start for the Bengals offense and part of that is attributed to QB Joe Burrow's injury. That has affected Ja'Marr Chase's fantasy numbers and it's hard to say if they can right the ship with Burrow not playing at 100% or if they have to go to Jake Browning at quarterback.

Chase still has 17 targets through two games but for only 70 receiving yards. He now faces a Rams defense that has been average at best. It's a good chance for Chase to get those numbers up to what we are used to.

Start Chase as the solid WR1 for Week 3. We expect 5-7 receptions and for him to double his season total for receiving yards.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Baltimore Ravens
Ja'Marr Chase had a rough opener despite being targeted nine times. He only ended up with five receptions for 39 yards which was his lowest total since Week 3 of 2022. It wasn't just Chase as the entire Bengals offense struggled and was held without a touchdown.

Chase faces the Ravens this Sunday so it won't get easier. In three games last year against Baltimore, he had double-digit targets in each one and had good numbers in each game while reaching the end zone twice. There weren't any lights-out games, but he was solid in all three.

Start Chase as as top-five fantasy wide receiver for Week 2. We expect a bounce back week for the Cincy offense and Chase should be in the middle of it getting similar numbers to last season.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Cleveland Browns
There is little doubt on the impact Ja'Marr Chase has on fantasy matchups as long as he is healthy. With QB Joe Burrow expected to play on Sunday, Chase is a poised to have a big opener.

The Bengals face division rival Cleveland. Chase only faced them once last season and had 10 receptions (15 targets) for 119 yards and a touchdown. The Browns defense is solid but that doesn't usually affect the Cincy offense.

Start Chase as a top 5 fantasy wide receiver for Week 1 in all leagues and formats. Many managers built their teams around him and he should have a good fantasy afternoon.
