Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Rashid Shaheed

Sunday, September 14, 6:37 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase bounced back in a major way during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chase was quiet in the season opener with only two receptions for 26 yards. He looked much more like himself during Sunday's Week 2 contest. Chase hauled in 14 of his 16 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown in the win. Surprisingly, a majority of Chase's production came after Joe Burrow (toe) exited the game. Jake Browning was able to find Chase with ease throughout the second half. The expectation is that Burrow is going to miss multiple weeks due to a turf toe issue. His absence should decrease the value of Chase, but clearly Browning and Chase do have good chemistry. Even without Burrow, Chase is a locked-in WR1 for Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was the team's third-most productive pass catcher in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, finishing with six receptions for 33 yards on nine targets. His longest catch was just 17 yards, but his speed and explosiveness give him real big-play potential. With Kellen Moore's offense passing aggressively, Shaheed could turn his volume into a breakout performance and projects as a WR4 with upside this week against the 49ers.
