Bengals Make Ja'Marr Chase The Highest-Paid Non-QB In NFL History

Sunday, March 16, 11:33 PM

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.

Jaylen Waddle News

Jaylen Waddle Looking Good at OTAs

Wednesday, May 28, 10:53 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was the star of the show during organized team activities on Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly. Waddle had career-lows across the board in catches (58), targets (83), receiving yards (744) and touchdowns (two) in 15 starts in his fourth NFL season in 2024 in a Dolphins offense that lacked the explosive plays they became so well-known for the previous two years. The 26-year-old still has plenty of speed to spare, but because of his down season in 2024, he has fallen down draft boards early on this offseason. The former sixth overall pick has the ability to bounce back for fantasy managers in 2025, but it could depend on Miami's offensive-line play and the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Waddle is no longer being considered a WR1 and could even be a shaky WR2 asset, depending on how the Dolphins' offense rebounds.
