Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Tylan Wallace

Sunday, January 7, 9:35 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase finished the Week 18 win over the Browns by catching four of six targets for 19 yards. The Bengals had nothing to play for but pride on Sunday, and with Chase battling a shoulder injury over the last few weeks, the team didn't want to take any chances with their superstar wideout. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old capped off another strong year, finishing with 100 catches for 1,216 yards and seven touchdowns. But with Chase entering his fourth season in the league, contract rumblings will run rampant until he signs a new deal. Yet, regardless of how talks pan out moving forward, he'll remain a first-round fantasy option heading into the 2024-25 campaign. He'll need Joe Burrow (wrist) to stay healthy if he hopes to come close to capturing the magic he had on the offensive end as a rookie.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday after missing the team's first practice of the week on Tuesday. The 24-year-old is dealing with a knee injury. Although he is not a contributor on offense, he is the lead kick and punt returner as long as Devin Duvernay (back) is on Injured Reserve. Fortunately, Duvernay practiced in full on Tuesday and is on the cusp of being activated to the 53-man roster. Neither player is worth any consideration in DFS lineups, but ball security in the return game could become an issue if neither can suit up.
