Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase hasn't scored a touchdown since the Week 7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, the wideout continues to produce at an exceptional level and has benefited from his league-leading 166 targets. The Bengals aren't going to the postseason. Still, the team will look for a strong finish to the season in hopes that the momentum will carry them into the 2026 campaign. Without question, Tee Higgins has been the go-to end zone target for Joe Burrow, although there should be plenty of opportunities for Chase to have another productive performance in an advantageous matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Not only that, but the former LSU Tiger has a real chance to be the week's highest-scoring option at the position, considering the Bengals are projected to put up the most points in Week 17.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase was once again a tough player to stop during Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Chase has been one of the few bright spots in what has been a disappointing season for the Bengals. On Sunday, Chase hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 45-21 victory over the Dolphins. This marked the third time in the last four games that Chase has surpassed the 100-yard mark in a game. The return of quarterback Joe Burrow has certainly helped boost his play in the previous four contests. Chase is one of the best wideouts in the league and will continue to be an elite fantasy option for next week's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has certainly had his share of ups and downs throughout the 2025 campaign. He hasn't scored a touchdown in weeks. Still, the wideout remains involved at a high level, most recently catching 10 of his 16 targets for 132 yards in the Week 15 AFC North clash with the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals aren't going to the postseason. However, as long as Chase is active, there's no way fantasy managers can keep him on the bench and feel good about it. That applies to Sunday's meeting with the Miami Dolphins, even more so if Tee Higgins (concussion) misses another contest.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is having a down year compared to last. However, he still ranks among the top wideouts in the National Football League, which isn't much of surprise to anyone. The former LSU Tiger is coming off a rough showing in the Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills, catching only five passes (eight targets) for 44 yards. Instead, it was Tee Higgins (concussion) who led the way on the receiving end, finding the end zone twice. Unfortunately, Higgins won't play in Sunday's meeting with the Ravens, just like when these clubs met in Week 13. Chase was certainly more productive in that one, ending with seven grabs for 110 yards. More importantly, he was targeted 14 times. While Chase is always a must-start, his ceiling is much higher without Higgins in the mix in Week 15.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase didn't find the end zone in the win over the Ravens in Week 13. However, the wideout still finished with seven catches for 110 yards while being targeted 14 times. Tee Higgins (concussion) wasn't available for that one, so Chase had to pick up most of the slack in Joe Burrow's first game in over two months. With Higgins back for the Week 14 showdown with the Buffalo Bills, the 25-year-old will presumably see less attention on the receiving end. Still, there should be more than enough opportunities for Chase to finish as a top fantasy producer in a contest that could feature plenty of offense from both sides, assuming the weather in Buffalo cooperates.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase returned from his one-game suspension in the Thanksgiving win over the Baltimore Ravens. The wideout played well, amassing seven catches off a team-high 14 targets for 110 yards (15.7 YPC). With Joe Burrow (toe) back on the field after two-plus months on the shelf, it didn't take the duo long to reconnect to help the Bengals snap their four-game skid. Granted, with Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined, there were a few extra targets up for grabs. However, Burrow should continue to look in Chase's direction often in Week 14 versus the Bills, a club that has struggled defensively of late. That likely won't change even if Higgins is back in the equation.
Nov 28, 2025 3:03 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will return from a one-game absence for the Thanksgiving AFC North showdown versus Baltimore. The wideout remains a top fantasy option at the position. Although he has only five touchdowns, he has made up for it by totaling 79 catches for 861 yards, doing so without Joe Burrow (toe) for most of the season. Fortunately, Burrow will be back after suffering a toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the 25-year-old and Joe Flacco (shoulder) appeared to have a good thing going, Burrow is considered an upgrade, even if he struggled in his brief time on the field this season. The absence of Tee Higgins (concussion) might make Chase even more productive despite the expectation of increased attention from the Ravens defense, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers on Thursday night.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will return on Thanksgiving night against the Baltimore Ravens after serving a one-game suspension for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Chase unsuccessfully appealed the suspension after clearly being caught on video doing the unsportsmanlike act. The superstar wideout is back, however, and will be joined by his star quarterback, Joe Burrow, in a big Week 13 divisional game. In two games against Baltimore last season, Chase caught 10 of 12 targets for 193 yards and two touchdowns, and then 11 of 17 targets for 264 yards and three touchdowns. With fellow star wideout Tee Higgins (concussion) ruled out, Chase should be in for a huge game on Thanksgiving night.
Nov 26, 2025 1:00 AM EST
The NFL is suspending Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase for one game for unsportsmanlike conduct after he was caught on video spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barring a successful appeal of his suspension, Chase will miss the Week 12 contest on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Chase's conduct led to an altercation in which Ramsey threw punches at Chase, causing him to be ejected from the Week 11 game. The 25-year-old will now most likely miss this weekend's game against the Pats, so fantasy managers should shift him to their bench this week. Tee Higgins will operate as quarterback Joe Flacco's top target for that one and will draw the attention of Pats cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Andrei Iosivas will be the No. 2 this Sunday, making him worth flex consideration. Tight end Noah Fant will also be more attractive as a TE streamer in Week 12.
Nov 17, 2025 5:30 PM EST
The NFL will be reviewing the on-field incident that occurred between Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey towards the end of the Week 11 matchup between the two teams, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ramsey was ejected from the game after throwing a punch at Chase, and after the game, he told reporters that Chase spat on him. There's a video circulating where it certainly looks as though that may have been the case, although it will be up to the NFL to make that final determination. Rapoport mentions that "precedent is there" for a suspension to be levied for spitting on an opponent, referencing the incident from earlier this season where Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter spat on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. While nothing has been determined yet, fantasy managers should be aware that Chase could be in danger of missing Cincinnati's Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots.
Nov 17, 2025 10:12 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a relatively slow start in three of his first four games to begin the 2025 campaign. However, it's been a different story since the Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions, with the wideout combining for 50 grabs (72 targets) for 567 yards and four touchdowns in his last five appearances. Most assumed Chase would lose his fantasy luster once Joe Burrow (toe) went on the Injured Reserve list. While that was mostly true when Jake Browning was under center, it didn't take him long to build strong on-field chemistry with Joe Flacco. The veteran signal-caller should continue to pepper Chase with targets moving ahead, including in Sunday's AFC North clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the former LSU Tiger looks to reclaim his spot as the top fantasy receiver.
Nov 15, 2025 12:32 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase remains the league-leader in targets following the team's Week 10 bye, building a sizable lead with Joe Flacco at quarterback. Chase has been peppered with targets in Flacco's four starts, recording 44 receptions for 457 yards and two touchdowns on a whopping 62 targets. The 25-year-old has 107 targets on the year, with Chris Olave the next closest at 95. The superstar wideout could also be getting his star QB back soon, with Joe Burrow (toe) having his 21-day practice window opened on Monday. Burrow could be returning soon and pick up where Flacco has left off, as the offense has still thrived in his absence. Chase remains one of the top fantasy options regardless of position every week and will look for another dominant performance in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Nov 11, 2025 2:00 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase entered the Week 8 loss to the New York Jets by catching at least one touchdown in each of his previous three games. While the former LSU Tiger didn't find the end zone in that one, he still had 12 catches for 91 yards. With the Bengals coming off a disappointing loss, they will try to get on track on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday, which is not uncommon for older players, before being limited in Thursday's session. However, panic set in for fantasy managers when he didn't practice on Friday and was slapped with a questionable designation for Week 9. Fortunately, there's reason to believe the signal-caller will be out there on Sunday. It appears Flacco and Chase have quickly developed strong on-field chemistry in a short span, so the duo should continue to connect in the meeting with the Bears. If Flacco can't suit up, Jake Browning would be back under center. Although Browning's presence would presumably lower Chase's ceiling, the wideout remains a must-start for obvious reasons.
Nov 1, 2025 11:51 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase played exceptionally well in the AFC North clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. The wideout would go on to finish that one by catching 16 of his 23 targets (both career-highs) for 161 yards and one touchdown. It appears after a rocky start (excluding Week 2) to the 2025 campaign, Chase is finally making some noise for fantasy managers, combining for 32 receptions (45 targets) for 365 yards and four touchdowns in the Bengals' previous three contests. With Cincinnati a win away from .500, the club will look to keep things rolling versus the Jets on Sunday. New York has struggled this season, going winless through the first seven weeks. While the Jets' secondary is considered one of the team's strengths, the unit will be without Sauce Gardner (concussion), which isn't an ideal scenario. Brandon Stephens and company will try their best to slow down the red-hot Bengals' offense. However, no matter who is on the defensive side of the ball against Cincinnati from week-to-week, that should never prevent fantasy participants from having Chase in their lineups.
Oct 25, 2025 10:58 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught 16 of his 23 targets for 161 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's Week 7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The superstar receiver posted career-highs in targets and receptions as the Bengals mounted a comeback victory on national television. After facing some growing pains with Jake Browning under center, Chase has returned to elite form while catching passes from Joe Flacco. In his two games with the veteran quarterback, he has totaled 26 catches, 255 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. Flacco has shown that he is capable of airing out the football, keeping the Bengals in close games, and limiting turnovers. All three of these factors bode well for Chase going forward, as he's firmly back in the high-end WR1 mix ahead of Week 8 against the Jets.

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is heating up at the right time, delivering back-to-back strong performances after an up-and-down start to the season. Over his last two games, Chase has caught 16 of 22 targets for 204 yards and three touchdowns, flashing the elite form that made him the overall WR1 in 2024. His inconsistency early this season stemmed largely from Joe Burrow's toe injury, which limited the offense's rhythm and explosiveness. Now, with Joe Flacco taking over under center, Chase appears to have retained his former production to a certain extent. The Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers sets up well, as Pittsburgh has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, surrendering 18+ PPR points to stars like Garrett Wilson, Justin Jefferson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With a favorable matchup and an improving quarterback situation, Chase profiles as a mid-range WR1 in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2025 10:29 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a solid game in Week 6, his first game playing alongside new Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco. Faced with a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Chase finished Week 6 with 10 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. The 25-year-old now has 42 catches for 468 yards and four touchdowns on 57 targets through his first six games of 2025. After a couple of down games immediately following the Bengals' loss of starting quarterback Joe Burrow (toe), Chase has bounced back over the past two weeks. He remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Oct 12, 2025 9:43 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice but evidently recovered in time for kickoff. Chase's fantasy production declined when Joe Burrow (toe) went down in Week 2, but he's trending up once again now that Cincinnati has made a quarterback change. Joe Flacco, who is generally regarded as a better passer than Jake Browning, will make his Bengals debut on Sunday. The veteran quarterback has the potential to support fantasy-relevant performances from several Cincinnati players, including Chase and Tee Higgins. Fantasy managers should feel optimistic about this fresh start, inserting Chase into their lineups across all leagues.
Oct 12, 2025 3:08 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas had three touchdowns in the first three weeks of the 2024 campaign. However, it's been a different story this season, with the 25-year-old failing to find the end zone. He also has only seven catches (13 targets) for 116 yards, further decreasing his fantasy value. While Ja'Marr Chase (illness) and Tee Higgins have been healthy, fantasy managers still expected at least a little more out of Iosivas throughout the year. All things considered, the wideout has a long way to go before earning a spot in any fantasy lineup. This applies to the Week 6 meeting with a tough Packers' defense, even if Chase somehow gets ruled out. It's also important to remember that Joe Flacco will get the start after being recently acquired from the Cleveland Browns, so his limited knowledge of the playbook likely won't help any of the Bengals' pass-catchers.
