Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Marvin Harrison Jr.

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.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. said that he added muscle this offseason as a result of eating the right foods. "I definitely put on some pounds," Harrison said on Monday at the team's facility. "I think I added some muscle to my body a little bit. Still just trying to see how my body feels throughout OTAs. Kind of get that specific weight to settle in for training camp and go from there." The 22-year-old had high expectations in his rookie year in 2024 with Arizona after being the fourth overall pick, but he didn't live up to them after catching 62 passes for 885 yards and eight touchdowns. He thinks that "contested-catch situations, run after the catch" will be areas that he can improve in 2025 now that he's stronger and bigger. Tight end Trey McBride took a lot of targets away from Harrison, but he shouldn't have much competition for targets otherwise as he looks to improve in Year 2.
