Ja'Marr Chase Will be Questionable for Week 5

Friday, October 9, 8:27 AM

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Chase was able to practice again on Friday, but he will be listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. It does not make fantasy managers' decisions any easier this weekend, and the 26-year-old All-Pro pass-catcher could end up being a true game-time decision on Sunday morning. Hopefully, we will have some clarification on his status by Saturday night. With fellow wideout Tee Higgins (groin) also questionable to play, the Bengals could be without their top two pass-catchers on the road against the winless Dolphins. Chase already has 21 catches for 212 yards and three touchdowns in the first four games of the season and will be a must-start in fantasy lineups if he is cleared from the concussion protocol by Sunday. Tight end Mike Gesicki's weekly value is trending up with both Chase and Higgins up in the air to play.

Jameson Williams' Upside Remains Evident if He Can Limit Mistakes

Thursday, October 8, 9:13 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams topped 100 yards for the first time in a Week 4 loss to the Panthers, making good on a season-high 53 routes run. While that level of passing volume would be unsustainable for most offenses, both Williams and teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown now rank among the league's top six players by total routes run. While Williams' league-leading four drops have caused notable fantasy frustration, his usage remains encouraging, and in Week 5, the Lions face a Cardinals defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points above expectation to the wide receiver position. The fifth-year pro makes for a high-upside start as RotoBaller's WR22.
