Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Puka Nacua

Sunday, October 5, 8:30 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his 10 targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions. For the first time since Week 2, when Joe Burrow (toe) went down, Chase posted double-digit fantasy points and found the end zone. His big performance was partly aided by a negative game script and some garbage time production, but it's also worth noting that he solidified his rapport with quarterback Jake Browning on Sunday. Don't be surprised if the two continue to demonstrate a solid connection in future games. Chase is a low-end fantasy WR1 heading into Week 6 against Green Bay.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught 10 of his 12 targets for 85 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He had a relatively quiet first half with just three receptions before coming on strong during the second half as the Rams attempted to erase a significant deficit. Los Angeles did eventually tie the score before falling to the Niners in overtime. Nacua put his best foot forward with the game on the line, racking up double-digit receptions for the fourth time in five games this year. He continues to be the highest-scoring fantasy receiver this year and should be viewed as a high-end WR1 for Week 6 against the Ravens.
