Who Should I Start? D.J. Montgomery or Ja'Marr Chase

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver DJ Montgomery reeled in two of his four targets for 45 yards in the team's loss on Sunday, leading all Colts' pass-catchers. Montgomery saw increased playing time as the Colts' starters and second-stringers played sparingly in the first half, allowing some players deeper on the depth chart to get some reps. Montgomery will continue to fight for a spot on the 53-man roster and is off the radar from a fantasy perspective.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a four-year, $161 million deal with $112 million guaranteed on Sunday to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, according to FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The 25-year-old All-Pro wideout is now under contract with the Bengals for the next five years for $182.816 million. The former fifth overall pick in 2021 out of LSU was deserving of the record contract after leading the league in receptions (127), receiving yards (1,708), touchdowns (17) and yards per game (100.5) in 17 games (16 starts) for the Bengals in his fourth year in the league in 2024. Chase has now been a Pro Bowler in each of his four years in the NFL and has put up at least 1,046 yards and seven touchdowns every year. With Tee Higgins also coming back and with Joe Burrow throwing him the football, Chase will be the unquestioned top receiver in fantasy this fall.
