  • Six catches not enough in loss

    Chase caught six of eight targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-20 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Chase finished three targets and eight receiving yards shy of Tee Higgins' team-leading totals, and the former also was held out of the end zone for the first time this postseason while Higgins scored his first touchdown of the playoffs. The fifth overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft again was brilliant in his second NFL campaign, needing only 12 games to rack up 1,046 yards and nine TDs in the regular season before adding 220 yards and two more scores in three playoff games.

  • Scores in big win

    Chase caught five of eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bills in the AFC divisional round. He also rushed once for three yards.

    Analysis: Chase started the scoring with a 28-yard touchdown to cap Cincinnati's opening drive. The wideout had another touchdown grab overturned later in the game, but Chase still led the Bengals in receiving. Thanks to Sunday's win, he'll now prepare for next weekend's showdown with the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Chase returned from injury to face Kansas City in Week 13 of the regular season and finished with seven catches for 97 yards in a 27-24 victory.

  • Finds end zone in playoff win

    Chase caught nine of 12 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 wild-card round win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Chase was unstoppable early on, catching all six of his targets for 52 yards across Cincinnati's first two drives, the latter of which he capped with a seven-yard touchdown to take a 9-0 lead. The Ravens controlled time of possession thereafter and did a better job of containing Chase, but the star receiver's early contributions proved vital in the nail-biting win. Chase and the Bengals will travel to Buffalo in the AFC divisional round.

  • Dominates opportunity in Week 18

    Chase recorded eight receptions on 13 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-16 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Chase earned double-digit targets for the fourth consecutive game, and he nearly doubled up Tyler Boyd, who finished second on the team with seven looks. Chase displayed some big-play ability, highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown catch as well as big gains of 20 and 17 yards. He also served as a check-down option for Joe Burrow, tallying short gains of 10 and nine yards. Despite having his season cut short by four games due to a hip injury, Chase surpassed 1,000 receiving yards and managed nine…read more

  • Mixed results

    Chase had eight catches for 79 yards in Sunday's win over the Patriots, but he also lost a critical fumble in the second half and was the target on an interception by Marcus Jones that was returned for a touchdown.

    Analysis: The pick-six was a result of a cross-up between Chase and Joe Burrow, as Chase continued a go-route while Burrow threw a back-shoulder play. Chas has posted at least seven catches and 60 yards in all four games since returning from a hip injury.

  • Grabs eighth touchdown in win

    Chase had seven receptions (13 targets) for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Chase was bottled up for the majority of this contest before Joe Burrow found his favorite target for a short score in fourth quarter. It wasn't the most efficient use of 13 targets from the star wideout, but the touchdown put a bow on a solid point total for managers in the thick of the fantasy playoffs. Chase draws a tough matchup against the Patriots in Week 16, as Bill Belichick's defenses are notorious for keying in on the opposition's top offensive weapon. New England held Las Vegas'…read more

  • Keys Bengals win

    Chase had 10 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns. He also had one carry for six yards.

    Analysis: Chase was operating without Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Tyler Boyd (finger) essentially for the entire game, after Boyd got hurt on the first pass attempt in the first quarter. Nevertheless, the Browns couldn't find a way to stop Chase. He was sacked once on an attempted trick play, losing nine yards - make sure to watch how your stat provider handles that play in terms of your fantasy scoring.

  • Nearly 100 yards in return

    Chase caught seven passes for 97 yards in the Bengals' 27-24 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Chase didn't get in the end zone, but he wrought plenty of damage on the Chiefs' secondary, and when he wasn't targeted he drew away coverage to leave others open. He had an additional catch overturned by an offensive pass interference call.

  • Returns to action Sunday

    Chase (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Chase, who returned to a full practice Friday, is thus slated to return to game action for the first time since Week 7, with the wideout having suffered a hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 6 win over the Saints. In his return to action Sunday, it remains to be seen if Chase will log his pre-injury allotment of snaps, though Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network suggests that the talented pass catcher isn't expected to face playing-time limitations versus Kansas City. In that context, Chase possesses Week…read more

  • No limitations expected

    Chase (hip), who remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs, isn't likely to have any snap-count limitations in his return from a four-game absence, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: According to Wolfe, the Bengals plan on keeping an eye on Chase as the game rolls along, but so long he doesn't tweak his right hip during the contest, he looks like he'll be on the field for nearly every offensive down in his return to the lineup. Chase has logged snap shares between 86 and 100 percent in his seven appearances to date, compiling 47 receptions for 605 yards and six touchdowns on 74 targets in the process. Wolfe notes that Chase was on track to play in last week's win over the…read more

  • Likely to return against Chiefs

    Chase (hip), who is officially listed as questionable, is likely to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Chase has missed Cincinnati's last four games with the injury but has practiced for the last two weeks. He turned in a full session Friday, a good indication that he may be able to return. That said, Chase's status won't be officially confirmed until Cincinnati releases its inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Practices fully, listed as questionable

    Chase (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after practicing fully Friday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: At this stage, Chase is trending toward a return to action this weekend following a four-game absence due to a hip injury. "He did everything we needed to see," coach Zac Taylor noted Friday of the wideout's running and cutting. "I hate to use the words 'for sure,' but I'm optimistic. He's on track." Added context regarding Chase's Week 13 status should arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, but either way it still will be worth confirming his status when the Bengals' inactives are posted ahead…read more

    Analysis: Chase has now been limited in five consecutive sessions and has yet to turn in a full practice since late October, when he suffered what he described as a hairline fracture of his hip and a hyperextended right leg. The receiver indicated Wednesday that he expects to put an end to his four-game absence this Sunday against the Chiefs, but whether Chase is cleared in advance of the weekend or receives an injury designation for the contest will likely be determined by the extent of his activity in…read more

  • Still limited at practice

    Chase (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Hobson, Chase noted earlier Wednesday that his injured hip feels good enough to play at least "some reps" Sunday against the Chiefs, and his continued participation in practice supports that notion. That said, unless the Bengals' star wideout returns to full practice participation by Friday, he'll likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.

    Chase (hip) said Wednesday that he's preparing as though he'll play Sunday against the Chiefs, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: The wideout -- who last suited up Week 7 -- indicated that he'll see how the rest of the week goes, but he affirmed that he's "expecting to take some reps" versus Kansas City. Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chase disclosed that he's returning from a hairline fracture of his hip and a hyperextended right leg, and while there had been hope that he would play in the Week 12 win over the Titans, he wasn't feeling comfortable enough to take the field.

  • Expected to return Week 13

    Chase (hip) is expected to return from his four-game absence versus Kansas City in Week 13, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals reportedly considered having Chase retake the field for Sunday's win over Tennessee, but the team ultimately opted to play it safe with the star wideout and give him a bit more time to fully recover. The expectation is that Chase will be available alongside Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd for Sunday's potentially high-scoring affair.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Chase (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Chase, who has missed the Bengals' last three games due to a hip injury, was a limited participant at practice Wednesday through Friday before being listed as questionable for the contest. However, the star wideout will be held out once again Sunday and will thus target a potential return to action next weekend when Cincinnati faces Kansas City at home. In Chase's continued absence, Trenton Irwin figures to log added wideout snaps alongside Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd in Week 12.

    Chase (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, isn't expected to be active for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: In his return to practice this week, Chase reportedly turned in three encouraging limited sessions, but he's still expected to miss a fourth consecutive game. A final word on Chase's status still isn't expected to come until 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Bengals will release their inactive list. If Chase is in fact included on the inactive list, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will once again act as Joe Burrow's top wideouts.

  • Trending toward another absence

    Chase (hip) isn't in line to play Sunday at Tennessee, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Chase got back on the practice field this week in a limited fashion after missing the last three games due to a sore hip. While he hasn't officially been ruled out by the Bengals -- coach Zac Taylor said Friday that the wide receiver would be a game-time call -- it appears Chase instead will aim to return Week 13 against the Chiefs. In the end, the decision on Chase's status will be revealed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Fortunately for those hoping to use Chase in fantasy lineups this weekend, the Bengals and Titans kick off among the early wave of games at 1 p.m. ET, giving managers plenty of options to pivot to in the event Chase finds himself on the inactive list.

    Chase (hip) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Now that he's logged back-to-back capped sessions, Chase is trending in the right direction ahead of this weekend's game against the Titans. That said, unless he practices fully Friday, the wideout figures to carry a Week 12 injury designation ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: Chase last saw game action Week 7, but his return to practice Wednesday represents a significant step toward the wideout potentially playing this Sunday against the Titans. Unless Chase is able to practice fully by Friday, however, he could approach Sunday's game with an injury designation.

    Chase (hip) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals will release their first Week 12 practice report later Wednesday, when the extent of Chase's participation will be known. At this stage, Chase appears to be trending in the right direction in advance of Sunday's contest against the Titans. Prior to being sidelined for the past three games, Chase was providing strong fantasy production, having caught 47 passes (on 74 targets) for 605 yards and six touchdowns in seven outings.

    Chase's (hip) teammate,Joe Burrow, said Wednesday that he expects the receiver to play Sunday against the Titans, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Such an outcome is contingent on the wideout not suffering any setbacks upon his anticipated return to practice this week, but Chase looks to be trending toward his first game action since Week 7. More clarity on Chase's status should arrive later Wednesday, when the Bengals post their first injury report of Week 12.

    Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Chase (hip) will resume practicing this week, but his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Titans remains to be determined, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor added, "Everything has been positive up to this point, which we hoped it would be." As such, Chase, who hasn't suited up since Week 7 due to a hip injury, could return to game action soon. However, the star wideout's participation at practice in the coming days likely will provide further clarity on his availability for Week 12.

  • Could practice next week

    Chase (hip), who is out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, has a chance to practice this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Per Rapoport, the wideout -- who last suited up Week 7 -- is improving and no longer requires the use of crutches. If Chase is indeed able to resume practicing in the coming days, he could return to the Bengals' lineup as soon as next Sunday against the Titans. In his absence Week 11, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will continue to lead the team's receiver corps.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Chase (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Chase already has missed two contests due to a hip issue, and following the Bengals' Week 10 bye, he'll make it a third this weekend. Having said that, the team opted not to place him on IR, which would have required him to sit out at least four games. Considering Chase was given a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, there's a chance he'll be able to return Sunday, Nov. 27 in Tennessee. First, though, he'll have to mix into drills next week.

  • Remains sidelined

    Chase (hip) wasn't present for Wednesday's practice and is on track to remain out for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Coming out of the Bengals' Week 10 bye, Chase is still sidelined, though Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com suggests that the wideout may be ready to action Week 12 against the Titans. In the meantime, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are in line to continue to lead the team's receiver corps.

  • Not expected to land on IR

    Head coach Zac Taylor stated Chase (hip) is not expected to go on injured reserve, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Given the initial prognosis was the dynamic receiver would likely miss at least four weeks after suffering a hip injury, this is certainly an interesting announcement. It likely helps that the Bengals have a Week 10 bye, which theoretically buys another week of recovery for Chase that would otherwise not count had he been placed on IR. Expect Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins to be prominent figures in the team's passing attack for however long Chase is sidelined.

  • Will miss time, per coach

    Head coach Zac Taylor confirmed Friday that Chase "will miss time with (a) hip injury and will make a full recovery," Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Taylor didn't outline a timetable for Chase's recovery, instead noting that the Bengals have a couple more days to decide whether Chase will be placed on injured reserve. Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously relayed that the wideout is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, and if Chase does land on IR, he would miss at least four games.

    Chase is reportedly dealing with a hip issue that is expected to sideline him 4-to-6 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: We'll await official confirmation from the Bengals, but assuming the timeline presented here is accurate, Chase could land on IR. In his looming absence, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are slated to lead the Bengals' wideout corps in the weeks ahead, with Mike Thomas likely to see added reps as well.

    Chase didn't practice Thursday due to a sore hip, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Bengals head coach Zac Taylor suggested prior to the session that the wideout was a candidate to sit out practice, though Chase's lack of reps is believed to be mostly for maintenance-related reasons more than anything, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Even so, Chase may need to get back on the practice field Friday or Saturday in some capacity to avoid carrying an injury designation into the Bengals' Week 8 game in Cleveland on Monday night.

  • Expected to miss practice Thursday

    Coach Zac Taylor indicated that Chase (hip) isn't likely to practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The report suggests that Chase is dealing with some hip soreness, so the wideout's status will be worth monitoring as Monday night's game against the Browns approaches. In Cincinnati's Week 7 win over the Falcons, Chase logged a 93 percent snap share en route to catching eight of his 11 targets for 130 yards and a pair of TDs.

  • Another explosive effort

    Chase recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Chase posted a nearly identical line to his massive performance in Week 6, logging his second consecutive game with at least 130 yards and two scores. He reached the end zone from 41 and 32 yards, which accounted for the majority of his production. Chase also overcame a brief injury scare late in the first half and had a quiet final two quarters, though he still managed three catches for 18 yards, suggesting he escaped relatively unscathed.

  • Not on injury report

    Chase (hip) wasn't listed on Cincinnati's final injury report, indicating that he's healthy heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Chase was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but managed to avoid an injury designation after practicing fully Friday. While he'll likely see a heavy dose of top Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, Chase still should be treated as a surefire fantasy starter coming off a 132-yard, two-touchdown performance in New Orleans.

  • Dealing with hip issue

    Chase was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hip injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Chase handled a full workload in Sunday's win over the Saints, catching seven of 10 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns while doing much of his damage late in the game. He thus seems likely to be ready for this weekend's game against the Falcons, though it'll be worth keeping an eye on Cincinnati's injury reports with wideout Tee Higgins (ankle) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) also limited Wednesday and hoping to avoid setbacks with injuries they've been able to play through.

  • Explodes for two scores

    Chase had seven receptions on 10 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Joe Burrow and Chase came into the Superdome on a mission to recreate the magic the LSU teammates had the last time they played at this venue. The superstar duo did their part on the field, hooking up for a game-winning touchdown inside of the two-minute warning that sealed the victory for Cincinnati. Chase was having an adequate fantasy year coming into Sunday's matchup, so the monster stat line will surely boost his managers' spirits heading into the meat of the season. The 22-year-old phenom…read more

  • Limited by division rival

    Chase grabbed seven receptions on 12 targets for 50 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: The Ravens were intent on not letting Joe Burrow and Chase beat them deep, consistently playing two-deep safety sets while veteran corner Marcus Peters played the star wideout physically off the line of scrimmage. Baltimore's plan worked well when factoring in the superstar's pedestrian stat line and the end result of the contest. The 22-year-old has been consistent with 32 receptions, 343 yards and two scores through five games, but the results seem lacking compared to last year's monster stat…read more

  • Solid yardage total in win

    Chase secured four of six targets for 81 yards in the Bengals' 27-15 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Chase finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Tee Higgins for the Bengals on the night, turning in his best yardage total since Week 1 against the Steelers in the process. The 2021 first-round pick's 20.3 yards per reception was a welcome sight after he'd averaged just 7.5 yards per grab over the previous two games, and Chase will aim to keep his momentum going in a key Week 5 AFC North road battle versus the Ravens a week from Sunday night.

  • TD salvages quiet Week 3

    Chase caught six of 10 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for minus-2 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 27-12 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Chase made up for a first-quarter fumble by capitalizing on a blown coverage for an easy five-yard touchdown in the third. He led the Bengals in targets and catches but finished a distant third behind Tyler Boyd (105) and Tee Higgins (93) in receiving yards, as rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner did a decent job of keeping Chase in check. Another tough cornerback awaits Chase in Week 4, as Xavien Howard will be tasked with slowing down the star wide receiver when the Bengals host the Dolphins on…read more

  • Five grabs in loss to Dallas

    Chase caught five of nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: He also gained four yards on one carry. Chase was matched up against Trevon Diggs most of the day, although Joe Burrow's lack of time in the pocket was likely the bigger factor in Chase's relatively quiet performance. The second-year wideout will look to bounce back in Week 3 against a seemingly vulnerable Jets secondary that just surrendered a 9-101-1 line to Amari Cooper after giving up three TDs to Baltimore wide receivers in its opener.

  • Big game in Week 1 loss

    Chase caught 10 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown on 16 targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was a difficult and painful game for Joe Burrow, who played less than great in turbulent conditions, but Chase's star talent still wasn't contained, even in an otherwise strong showing by the Pittsburgh defense. Granted, Chase's target volume was inflated slightly due to Tee Higgins suffering a concussion early in the game, but it's still encouraging to see the former post such strong fantasy production in a game as ugly as this one. It's also worth noting Chase nearly had a superhuman…read more

    With Geoff Hobson of the team's official site indicating that Bengals are not in line to play key starters in Sunday's preseason game against the Giants, Chase appears on track to sit out the contest.

    Analysis: Chase also sat out Cincinnati's exhibition opener, and it's unclear if the coaching staff intends to give the wideout any snaps in the team's preseason finale Saturday against the Rams.

  • Headed for more slot work?

    Chase could see more work in the slot this year, with offensive coordinator Brian Callahan noting that the second-year wideout is a "really smart" player who knows assignments for multiple receiver spots, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Primarily an X receiver last season, Chase didn't move around the formation much early on, instead finding success with his ability to beat press coverage, win one-on-one matchups outside and run past slower defenders. The Bengals moved him around a bit more as the year went along, but his 20.6 percent slot-snap rate over the final nine games (including playoffs) was still on the low side for a top receiver. Chase could move inside a bit more often this year, though it isn't clear how much that…read more

  • Eyeing competition to 2,000 yards

    Chase joked Wednesday that he hopes former college teammate Justin Jefferson doesn't beat him to 2,000 receiving yards this season, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: No player has ever hit 2,000 yards in a season, though Cooper Kupp came close in the first year with the NFL's 17-game schedule (1,947). It won't be too surprising if someone does it in the next few years, with Chase, Jefferson and Kupp being the prime candidates to achieve the feat in 2022. They're also the consensus first-round fantasy picks among wide receivers, with many drafts featuring all three in the top five selections.

    Chase recorded five receptions on eight targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 23-20 Super Bowl LVI loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Chase was overshadowed by Tee Higgins' two-touchdown performance, though he still delivered explosive plays of his own. He set up Cincinnati's first points of the game when he hauled in a 46-yard reception after beating Jalen Ramsey down the right sideline. Chase also added a 17-yard catch on the final drive of the game as the team was pushing down the field in an effort to attempt a game-tying field goal.

  • Grabs touchdown

    Chase recorded six receptions on nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Chase was blanketed throughout the day and was unable to find much room for big gains. However, he still managed a 22-yard reception to help set up a field goal early in the third quarter. He followed that up with a two-yard touchdown reception one possession later, winning a jump ball in the back corner of the end zone.

    Chase recorded five receptions on six targets for 109 yards in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round win over the Titans.

    Analysis: The Titans were focused on slowing Chase, and that showed in his relatively limited target volume. However, he made the most of each of his opportunities to post another big stat line. His performance began with a 57-yard gain midway through the first quarter on a catch at the line of scrimmage that he quickly turned upfield while evading several defenders. Chase also set up the game-winning field goal with a 19-yard reception with only 20 seconds remaining in the game. He'll head into the AFC…read more

  • Dominant playoff debut

    Chase caught nine passes for 116 yards on 12 targets and ran for 23 yards on three carries against Las Vegas on Saturday.

    Analysis: Be it the regular season or playoffs, Chase has proven himself a uniquely productive player who holds top-shelf fantasy value. Chase was heavily involved early for Cincinnati and spearheaded its initial offensive attack in a game the Bengals went on to win 26-19. Tee Higgins (one 10-yard catch on four targets) will normally claim a bigger share of the Cincinnati passing game than he did against the Raiders, but both players have shown the ability to shine when the spotlight lands on them.

  • Sets franchise record in cameo

    Chase brought in two of four targets for 26 yards in the Bengals' 21-16 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: The star rookie was in there for limited snaps as expected, but he did get more than the 12 yards he needed to set the rookie franchise record in that category. Chase was able to get some good work in before the postseason while working with backup quarterback Brandon Allen, and he'll now look ahead to keeping his connection with Joe Burrow (knee) as incandescently hot as it was to wrap up the regular season.

    Chase is active for Sunday's game against the Browns, though he's not expected to see his usual snap count in the contest, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Zac Taylor suggested earlier this week that Chase could be a candidate to sit out the regular-season finale for rest purposes, as the Bengals have little at stake Week 18 in terms of playoff positioning and would ideally escape the contest without any injuries to key players heading into the postseason. To that end, Joe Burrow (knee/rest), Joe Mixon (reserve/COVID-19 list) and Tee Higgins (coach's decision) are all sitting out Week 18, but Chase will at least dress for the contest.…read more

    Analysis: With quarterback Joe Burrow already acknowledging that he'll sit out with a minor knee injury he would otherwise normally play through if the Bengals hadn't already locked up a playoff spot, there's a good chance Chase plays less than a full game, if he even suits up at all. He already has the rookie record for receiving yards (1,428), thanks to his 11-266-3 line in the Week 17 win over Kansas City.

    Analysis: Chase made a move in space and outran the whole Chiefs defense for a 72-yard touchdown late in the first quarter, then scored again from 18 yards out in the second by easily outmuscling a defender in the end zone. He completed the touchdown hat trick with a 69-yard burst down the sideline early in the third quarter, and while Chase didn't get back into the end zone after that, he continued to play a major part in Cincinnati's comeback from a 28-17 halftime hole.

    Analysis: Chase no doubt benefited from the injuries to the Baltimore secondary, but this is a still a strong output by any standard and puts him back on track for a good finish to a rookie season that has been spectacular overall, despite some bumps in the road. At worst, this was a good tune-up showing for Chase as the Bengals prepare to face a tougher Chiefs defense in Week 17.

  • Ineffective against Denver

    Chase recorded one reception on four targets for three yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: This matchup was a defensive struggle from start to finish, but even given that context, Chase posted a disappointing line. Volume was down for nearly every Cincinnati receiver, but Chase's inability to break free for big gains -- a skill that was the key to his early-season production -- remains a concern. Across his last seven games, he's managed only two receptions of at least 20 yards. In that same span, he's averaged only 3.7 receptions and 40.6 receiving yards per game.

With the Bengals in a 20-6 hole to begin the fourth quarter, Chase got to work and hauled in TD strikes of 17 and 32 yards from Joe Burrow. It's the second two-touchdown performance of the season for Chase, who now has an amazing 10 TDs through his first 13 NFL games in addition to reaching the 1,000-yard mark. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Broncos.

    Chase secured five of eight targets for 52 yards in the Bengals' 41-22 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Chase saw fellow wideouts Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd outshine him on the afternoon, but he still put together a solid fantasy performance, especially from a PPR perspective. The standout rookie is in a bit of a slump since a stellar 8-201-1 effort against the Ravens in Week 7, posting no more than six receptions or Sunday's 52 receiving yards since that game. His next opportunity to bump up his production comes in a Week 14 home battle against the 49ers.

When Joe Burrow was asked to drop back and pass, he favored Tee Higgins (six receptions for 114 yards and a score) on the side of the field that star defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick wasn't operating in.

  • Makes low volume count Sunday

    Chase caught three of six targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders. He also gained eight rushing yards on two carries.

    Analysis: The six targets were the fewest Chase has seen since Week 3 and the 40 scrimmage yards were a season low, but the rookie wideout stayed productive by hauling in a six-yard score from Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter as the Bengals pulled away. Chase has eight TDs through his first 10 NFL games while inching closer to 1,000 receiving yards, and he could pad those numbers significantly in Week 12 against a Steelers defense he torched for two touchdowns in their first meeting this year.

He also had a ball go through his hands in the end zone in the third quarter, as some of the drops Chase struggled with in the preseason have begun to resurface.

    Chase caught three of eight targets for 32 yards and a touchdown while adding nine yards on one rushing attempt in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Chase has done most of his scoring from distance, but he showed he can be an effective red-zone weapon as well with a two-yard touchdown in the second quarter. That was his seventh touchdown in eight games, as the rookie fifth overall pick has lived up to his draft-day billing and then some. The underrated Jets secondary kept Chase to under 50 receiving yards for the first time in his career, but he'll have a WR1 ceiling in all formats in Week 9 against the Browns.

The budding star wideout continues to dazzle in his rookie campaign, bringing his season totals up to 35 receptions, 754 yards and six scores through seven contests.

    Analysis: Chase's yardage total led the Bengals' pass catchers, with a game-high 53-yard grab playing a big part. The dynamic rookie also shared the team lead in targets, but the downturn in that category was a mild disappointment after Chase had logged 19 total looks over the previous two games. Despite falling just short of his third 100-yard effort, the first-round pick will have no shortage of appeal going into a Week 7 road showdown against the Ravens.

This year's fifth pick had a drop early but compensated with an impressive 70-yard touchdown catch off a scramble drill just before halftime, again showing his unique chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow.

    Analysis: The fifth overall pick in the 2021 draft hauled in a strike from Brandon Allen on the Bengals' first possession before quickly calling it a night. Expectations are high for Chase this season in no small part due to his familiarity with Joe Burrow -- who didn't play Saturday -- from their time together at LSU, but with the second-year QB unlikely to see extensive preseason action, it might not be until Week 1 that the duo gets to really flash their chemistry.
