CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Ja'Marr Chase does everything you want a fantasy wide receiver to do. He gets targets (double-digit targets in 9 of the 12 games he was healthy). He gets receptions as he increased his catch total to 87. He had over 1,000 receiving yards for the second straight season. Chase also has one of the best quarterbacks in the league and legit target on the other side in Tee Higgins.

Fantasy Downside
Injury issues are the biggest concern with Chase. Obviously, he had some issues in college and he missed games last season. Otherwise there is very little downside as he should only get better entering his third year.

2023 Bottom Line
Chase is one of the top receivers in the NFL and a sure-fire first round pick in fantasy drafts. Some experts even see him as the No. 1 receiver overall, but we actually see him as No. 3 behind Justin Jefferson and Cooper Kupp. That's splitting hairs as a healthy Chase will increase his receptions, yardage, and touchdowns from last season. In fact, I expect he will lead the NFL in touchdown receptions.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Buffalo Bills
Ja'Marr Chase had double-digit targets for the sixth time in his last seven games. Last week, it produced eight receptions for 79 yards. It wasn't his best game but he did pretty good in PPR leagues. Chase was held out of the end zone after scoring a touchdown in his previous two games.

Chase faces the Bills who are ranked 25th in aFPA to wide receivers. Cincinnati's passing game has been really good during their seven-game winning streak so we expect the success to continue with a favorable matchup.

Start Chase as a top-five fantasy wide receiver. We expect him to continue to get his targets and the production should be high on Monday as this game should be a shootout.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New England Patriots
Ja'Marr Chase has been targeted double digits in back-to-back games and now 7 of 10 games this season. He finished last week with seven receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown. He now has eight touchdowns on the season. The Bengals offense has been very good and of course Chase has been a major beneficiary of that success.

Chase faces the Patriots who are ranked 7th in aFPA to wide receivers. New England's defense has been especially good at home and even though the matchup is unfavorable for Chase, he should still have good numbers overall.

Start Chase as a solid WR1 for Week 16. He isn't one of the top fantasy receivers this week but will still have a decent game against New England.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ja'Marr Chase seems to be 100% as went off last week with 15 targets that produced 10 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. Tee Higgins went down with an injury as did Tyler Boyd which is one reason for Chase's monster numbers.

Chase will face the Buccaneers who are ranked 23rd in aFPA to wide receivers. Tampa's defense was bad last week and there are critics who think they have mailed it in.

Higgins should be back this week, but we still expect a big day for Chase. Start him as a top-five fantasy receiver with a favorable matchup and good weather in Florida.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Cleveland Browns
Ja'Marr Chase returned to the field and didn't miss a beat. He caught seven passes for 97 yards. No rust at all. He seems to play his best in the big games, especially against Kansas City.

Chase will face the Browns who are ranked 7th in aFPA to wide receivers. He didn't play in the first meeting with Cleveland this year. Last year, he didn't put up good numbers in the two meetings.

Start Chase in all leagues and formats for Week 14. The Cincy offense is rolling and Chase seems healthy which means big numbers down the stretch.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Ja'Marr Chase was expected to be in the lineup last week, but was held back one more week. Unless there is a setback in practice, he should be a go this week. But still keep an eye on actives just in case.

Chase faces the Chiefs who are ranked 23rd in aFPA to wide receivers. He had 266 receiving yards and three touchdowns in the regular season matchup against KC, but was held in check in the playoff game with 54 receiving yards. He did score a touchdown in that game as well.

Start Chase as a low-end WR1 for Week 13. It should definitely be a shootout with two of best quarterbacks in the league. But there is still some doubt how healthy Chase is.

CIN WR Ja'Marr Chase - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Tennessee Titans
Ja'Marr Chase is expected to return Sunday if everything goes well on Friday with him participating in a full practice. He hasn't played since Week 7 (hip injury) and might still not be 100% if he does play.

The Bengals face the Titans who are ranked 31st in aFPA to wide receivers. The Tennessee secondary has not been good this season so the Bengals passing game should thrive.

Check injury reports and actives on Sunday. If Chase is a go, he ranks a low-end WR1 for Week 12. We expect him to get some targets and catches, but he still might be a week or two away from being a top 5 fantasy wide receiver on a weekly basis.
