Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Ja'Marr Chase

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season in a 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. Pittman has been a dangerous red-zone weapon for a red-hot Colts offense through the first seven games of the season. He will look to keep it going in Week 8's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. Pittman's projection is downgraded a bit with Josh Downs returning from a one-week absence due to a concussion, but he will remain a threat to find the endzone regardless. He sets up as a low-end WR2 in fantasy in Week 8 against Tennessee.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase played exceptionally well in the AFC North clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. The wideout would go on to finish that one by catching 16 of his 23 targets (both career-highs) for 161 yards and one touchdown. It appears after a rocky start (excluding Week 2) to the 2025 campaign, Chase is finally making some noise for fantasy managers, combining for 32 receptions (45 targets) for 365 yards and four touchdowns in the Bengals' previous three contests. With Cincinnati a win away from .500, the club will look to keep things rolling versus the Jets on Sunday. New York has struggled this season, going winless through the first seven weeks. While the Jets' secondary is considered one of the team's strengths, the unit will be without Sauce Gardner (concussion), which isn't an ideal scenario. Brandon Stephens and company will try their best to slow down the red-hot Bengals' offense. However, no matter who is on the defensive side of the ball against Cincinnati from week-to-week, that should never prevent fantasy participants from having Chase in their lineups.
