2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chase's rookie season remains his best statistical effort through three years, but there's no shortage of signs that the best may still be ahead. He missed five games in his second season whilst averaging a league-high 11.1 targets per game, and then in 2023 he was on pace for 130-1,551-9 on 187 targets prior to the week in which QB Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury. Backup QB Jake Browning kept the offense afloat, but not Chase's fantasy production, in part because the WR missed one game with an AC joint sprain and then played fewer snaps than usual the final two weeks. Injuries haven't been the only factor, to be fair. Chase was perhaps the best deep threat in the NFL as a rookie -- 15 catches for 576 yards and eight TDs on 34 targets of 20-plus yards -- but has seen just 37 deep passes across two subsequent seasons even though his efficiency on those throws has remained impressive (15-of-37 for 528 yards and six TDs). His aDOT has dropped with each passing year (12.6 to 9.3 to 8.4) on account of the Bengals giving him fewer deep shots and peppering him with screens, slants, hitches, etc. The hope now for anyone drafting Chase early in the first round is that he can combine his rookie-year fireworks with the short-area volume from Years 2 and 3. The Bengals anticipate having Burrow healthy well before training camp, and they seemingly plan to let No. 3 receiver Tyler Boyd leave in free agency while ignoring No. 2 receiver Tee Higgins' trade request.

RANKS
Long TD makes day
Chase recorded three catches on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Chase was surprisingly relatively uninvolved in the offense, as Tee Higgins drew 10 targets and also led the team in receptions. However, Chase had the most impactful performance of the day thanks primarily to a 63-yard touchdown, during which he bounced off at least three potential tacklers over the middle of the field before sprinting down the sideline for the long score. After a modest start to the season, Chase has nine receptions for 203 yards and three touchdowns combined across the last two contests.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
From an efficiency standpoint, Chase took a big step back between Years 1 and 2, dropping from 11.4 YPT to 7.8 YPT even as the Cincinnati offense remained efficient overall. On the other hand, he drew six more targets in five fewer games, with his aDOT falling from 12.6 to 9.0 amidst a steady diet of screens and slants that wasn't there as a rookie. It was the type of usage that could lead to a 2021 Cooper Kupp-type season, even if it didn't work out that way last year due to a slow start and then a hip injury. The 2020 fifth overall pick has 4.34 speed that's evident on the field, and his age-23 season could be phenomenal if he combines the 2022 usage (11.2 targets per game) with something approaching the 2021 efficiency. College teammate Justin Jefferson is the smoother route-runner and has slightly less target competition with the Vikings lacking a bonafide No. 2 receiver like Cincinnati's Tee Higgins, but Chase is the superior athlete and works with a superior quarterback, giving him the same WR1 overall ceiling as his friendly rival in Minnesota.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Glad for potential Higgins debut
Chase stated Friday he's excited about the likelihood of fellow wideout Tee Higgins making his season debut Monday night against the Commanders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Chase has been frequently double-teamed through the Bengals' first two games, both losses. Higgins appears set to make his season debut after overcoming a hamstring injury suffered during Week 1 prep, and Chase is hoping his presence will remove some of the defensive attention that's been bestowed upon him in the first pair of contests.
