Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks with a hip injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chase reportedly suffered the initial injury against the Saints and then aggravated it in the win over the Falcons. The return timeline makes him likely to hit IR. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports, however, that he's only expected to need rest and rehab to come back from it. His absence makes Tyler Boyd a strong fantasy football option for this weekend and beyond.

Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase totaled 81 scoreless yards in a Week 12 loss to Pittsburgh. He tallied 2 catches for 45 yards on a pair of fluky, tipped balls. Jake Browning’s play proved up and down in his starting debut, but there’s a silver lining here. Cincinnati’s WR schedule looks favorable going forward, starting next week vs. Jacksonville. We’ll see if Tee Higgins makes it back for that one.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase does not appear on the Week 11 injury report. Playing through a back injury last week, Chase registered a season-low 84% snap rate and a season-low six targets. He avoided a setback, though, and should be closer to 100% for Thursday night's showdown with the Ravens. Chase remains a must-start for that one.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after suffering what’s been reported as a back bruise in last Sunday night’s win over the Bills. Chase was truly 50/50 for this one, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and “it's unclear how functional he'll be." Chase did enough in pre-game warmups to get the green light, though. His fantasy floor and ceiling are lower than usual this week, but you’d still need to be loaded at WR to bench him.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (back) "did what was necessary in his warmups" and will play vs. the Texans today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Time will tell how effective he is," Rapoport adds. There's obviously elevated risk with Chase this week, but he'd be extremely tough to leave out of fantasy lineups -- especially with WR Tee Higgins out.

NFL Network reports that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is "considered 50-50 at best to play" today against the Texans. Ian Rapoport adds that "it's unclear how functional he'll be" after Chase hurt his back in last Sunday night's win over the Bills. He'll be a game-time decision for the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Check back for updates ahead of lineup lock to see where Chase winds up in our Week 10 rankings -- if he's active. He'll clearly carry some risk even if he's playing.
