Ja'Marr Chase Still Without A Touchdown This Season

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.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Still Looking For Breakout

Saturday, September 23, 4:56 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was targeted five times in Week 1 and six times in Week 2, but he is not yet threatening the workloads of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. The 21-year-old has only been on the field for 58% of snaps and the targets he has seen are at an average depth of just 1.9 yards. In Week 3 against the Panthers, Smith-Njigba will line up against Jimmy Chinn or Troy Hill, who have managed most of the slot corner snaps for Carolina in the first two weeks of the season. Smith-Njigba is definitely worth holding but the only reason to start him in Week 3 is if Metcalf (ribs) is ruled out.
