Bottom Line

Though injuries temporarily derailed his sophomore season in 2022, Chase has quickly established himself as one of the league’s most electrifying wideouts.

The former LSU standout has gobs to potential to emerge as the WR1 overall in fantasy this upcoming season, catching passes from his college teammate/current QB Joe Burrow.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Chase finished his sophomore season as the WR11 overall in PPR, scoring 20.2 fantasy points per game.
  • He found a way to repeat as a fantasy star despite missing four games due to a fractured hip and the Bengals’ Week 17 game vs. the Bills being canceled due to the incident involving S Damar Hamlin.
  • Chase caught more passes (87) and tallied more receiving TDs (13) last year than he did as a rookie in 2021 – in five fewer games played (12).
  • Additionally, Chase showed growth in some key receiving metrics from Year 1 to Year 2:
    • 2021: 20.8% target share, 36.3% air yards share, 0.55 Weighted Opportunity Rating (WOPR)
    • 2022: 28.9% target share, 37.6% air yards share, 0.67 WOPR
  • Chase has a strong case to be the WR1 overall in 2023, given his high concentration of involvement and big-play potential in this Bengals offense.
  • However, it’s worth noting that Chase only registered five top-12 weekly finishes, three within the top-24, and four games as a WR3 or worse last year.
    • By contrast, Vikings WR Justin Jefferson concluded 2022 with nine top-12 finishes, three within the top-24, and five games as a WR3 or worse.
  • It sounds like we’re nitpicking, but we mention this as a partial explanation as to why we have Jefferson ranked ahead of Chase by two spots in our preseason rankings here at Draft Sharks.
  • Chase also took a step backward in PFF receiving grade, ranking 11th among all WRs (min. 100 targets) in 2022 after finishing 8th in 2021. That’s a negligible difference in the grand scheme of things, but still worth mentioning.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Barring injury, there’s no reason to expect anything other than another stellar fantasy season from Chase in 2022.
  • If there’s any shred of criticism to levy in his direction, it would be the relatively boom/bust nature of Chase’s production profile. Even then, his “busts” are relatively benign, and his “booms” are astronomically good.
  • Fantasy managers should feel great about taking Chase early in 2023 drafts.

Joe Burrow, QB CIN

11:59am EDT 9/25/23

"Optimism" Joe Burrow plays Week 3

The Athletic's Dianna Russini hears that there's "optimism" Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) will be able to play vs. the Rams tonight. He'll go through a workout this morning, per Russini, before a final decision is made. "Burrow is campaigning with the coaching staff and trainers to play, however his status is still uncertain," Russini adds. We'll keep you updated on the situation.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) is shaping up as a game-time decision for Monday night's game vs. the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He's been feeling progressively better as we've gone throughout the week," Rapoport says. "Took just a few snaps on Friday, a little bit more on Saturday ... If he plays, he's likely going to play in pain." Between the late kickoff and Burrow's struggles so far, he should be on fantasy benches this week. WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are worth keeping in starting lineups in most cases, although they'll move down the WR Rankings if QB Jake Browning ends up starting.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. He was limited in practice on Friday and Saturday. WR Ja'Marr Chase said that Burrow didn't throw much on Friday, but he took all the red-zone snaps in the portion of Saturday's practice open to the media, according to insider Mike Petraglia. "We'll see." Zac Taylor said on Burrow's status for Monday night. "Thought he looked good today." We'll look for further updates on the situation. But between the late kickoff and how poorly Burrow has played so far this season, he's better off on fantasy benches for Week 3. If Burrow can't go, QB Jake Browning would start and downgrade Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to WR2/3 territory.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said it's "fair to wonder" if Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) will play vs. the Rams next Monday night. It wasn't an official report, but we doubt Schefter just pulled this out of thin air. We'll look for further updates on Burrow's status and track his practice participation throughout the week, but his fantasy owners should be lining up a backup plan for Week 3 (and maybe beyond). QB Jake Browning is Cincinnati's backup -- and would obviously be a huge downgrade for all Bengals skill-position players.

Bengals TE Hayden Hurst (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Zac Taylor admitted on Monday that Hurst is "doubtful" to play vs. the Browns this weekend. That'll leave Mitchell Wilcox as Cincinnati's lead TE -- and mean more targets for WRs Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.
