Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Zay Flowers

Sunday, October 25, 5:18 PM

Coming off the Week 6 bye, the Cincinnati Bengals offense could not muster a single point in the first half of Sunday's battle against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Thankfully for wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's fantasy managers, the Bengals' offense came alive in the second half in the eventual 35-13 victory. Chase took a back seat to teammate Tee Higgins in receiving yards, but he still found the end zone for the second straight game and finished with five catches on his seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro now has five touchdowns on the year in six games, but he has yet to eclipse the century mark in 2026 after he had his fifth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2025. Fantasy managers should not be concerned at all, especially since Chase has a boom matchup coming in the Week 8 clash with the one-win Tennessee Titans. He continues to be a must-start as an elite WR1 for the Bengals.
