Ja'Marr Chase Doesn't Miss a Beat in Return From Concussion

Sunday, October 11, 8:53 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his 10 targets for 77 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins. Chase suffered a concussion in Week 4, but he managed to clear protocol in seven days and was able to continue producing as a strong WR1 this Sunday. The 26-year-old is now up to 27 catches, 289 yards, and two touchdowns through five games this season. He's headed for a bye in Week 6, but he'll return on the other side of the off week as a high-end WR1 who should be started in all fantasy leagues. As long as quarterback Joe Burrow stays healthy, Chase will continue to be a top fantasy weapon while proving that he can coexist alongside another high-scoring receiver, Tee Higgins.

Zay Flowers News

Zay Flowers Active for Sunday Night Football Vs. Falcons

Sunday, October 11, 3:15 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. Flowers was limited throughout the practice week with a foot issue and entered the weekend with a questionable designation. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday morning that Flowers was expected to play against Atlanta. Flowers, who missed a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury, is tied with tight end Mark Andrews for the most receptions on the Ravens so far in 2026 with 18. Flowers leads the team with 352 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. However, Flowers and the Ravens will be without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) due to an ankle injury. Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback for Baltimore.
