Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or George Pickens

Sunday, October 1, 9:13 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught seven of his nine targets for 73 yards during the loss to Tennessee on Sunday. The Bengals' offensive woes continue, with Joe Burrow failing to throw a touchdown for the third time this season. Without question, Burrow's lack of statistical output has impacted Chase, who hasn't found the end zone this year. Fortunately, he has 29 catches through the first four games, which has kept him somewhat productive for fantasy managers. Chase should find the end zone at some point, especially if Tee Higgins (ribs) misses time, which will likely be the case. Keep him starting in Week 5 versus the rebuilding Arizona Cardinals.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught just three of his seven targets for 25 yards in the team's 30-6 blowout loss to the Houston Texans. Still, outside of running backs, the second-year pro led the team in receiving yards. The entire Pittsburgh offense sputtered against a beatable Houston defense. They also lost quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) and tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) to injuries. It appears as though Mitch Trubisky could get the start against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. The passing game can't get much worse, so Pickens will still be viewed as a flex option next week.
