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.

Travis Hunter to Play Third-Down Snaps on Defense?

Wednesday, May 28, 1:07 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie first-round wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter was out on the field with the defense last week, per head coach Liam Coen, and he's been learning a bunch both on offense and defense during offseason workouts. The Jaguars aren't putting Hunter on both offense and defense on the same day, although he does still meet with the defense on days that he practices with the offense. Per The Coachspeak Index, it sounds like Hunter's defensive snaps early in his rookie year will be more of the third-down/high-leverage variety. The 22-year-old second overall pick in this year's NFL draft is an elite athlete, but it's hard to gauge his fantasy value in Year 1 as he looks to play both sides of the ball. The good news is that the Jaguars appear to be planning on making him more of a focal point on offense early in his NFL career than on defense.
