2025 Fantasy Outlook
Chase scored 403 PPR points last season, the fourth most ever by a wide receiver, and became the fifth player since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to win a receiving triple crown. In non-fantasy terms, he's been close to infallible since Cincinnati picked him fifth overall in 2021, grading out as elite in terms of speed (4.34 40), leaping (41-inch vertical), route-running and after-the-catch skills (6.2 career YAC average) -- all while sporting a denser-than-usual build (6 feet, 201 pounds) for a wide receiver. He's never averaged less than 16.4 PPR points, yet there arguably was a slight element of disappointment from a fantasy perspective before last season, as he'd been unable to maintain his frequency of big plays from 2021 (eight TDs of 30+ yards) once the Bengals started feeding him a steady diet of short targets in 2022 and 2023. It was only a matter of time before he combined both elements in a single season, although the extent to which that was true last year may not have been predicted even by Chase himself. He now enters his age-25 season as the popular No. 1 overall fantasy pick, with a near-perfect setup for continued production after he and running mate Tee Higgins finally joined QB Joe Burrow in signing long-term extensions with the Bengals. The nature of Chase's 2024 production was such that he can lose 10-20 percent of it in 2025 and still be a successful No. 1 pick, giving him plenty of leeway for regression in terms of touchdowns (17 last year) or team pass volume (38.4 attempts per game).

Huge performance in win
WRCincinnati Bengals
September 14, 2025
Chase recorded 14 receptions on 16 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Chase struggled in Week 1 against the Browns along with the rest of the Bengals' offense. However, he bounced back in a big way in Week 2, doubling up Tee Higgins in targets while accounting for over half of the team's yards through the air. His touchdown came from four yards away early in the first quarter, and he then tacked on receptions of 25, 16, 14 and 13 yards. Even more impressive was that the majority of Chase's production came with Jake Browning under center after Joe Burrow departed in the second quarter with an apparent toe injury. If Burrow is sidelined for an extended period, Chase's production would likely dip, but his talent and role will keep him locked in as a top option at wide receiver.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
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.
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.
Chase enjoyed one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history last year, instantly proving worthy of the No. 5 pick. Reports from training camp about repeated drops became a distant memory before long ... even though he ultimately committed a league-high 11. The Bengals aren't complaining, in light of the damage Chase did on his 81 catches, finishing second in YPT and YPR and third in YAC (651). He used 4.34 speed to beat defenders over the top — catching 15 of 34 deep targets for 576 yards and eight TDs — but he wasn't overly reliant on go routes, also posting efficient stats on shorter throws (he caught 48 of 62 targets within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, and 18 of 27 in the 10-to-19-yard range). If you're looking for negatives, Chase has serious competition for targets, namely from fellow wideout Tee Higgins, who technically got more looks per game than the rookie last year (7.8 to 7.5). But that also means defenses have two perimeter threats to worry about, making it all the harder to defend a monster like Chase. If anything, the offense might even take another step forward after Joe Burrow's 2021 breakout, with the team adding three O-line starters in free agency (C/G Ted Karras, G Alex Cappa, RT La'el Collins). That doesn't mean Chase will avoid regression on some of his loftier averages (e.g. 11.4 YPT, 8.0 YAC), but it does put him in great position to remain among the league's most efficient wideouts per target, with potential to add volume as well.
Coming off a huge year at LSU — 126-84-1,780-20 — with 21.2 YPC and 14.1 YPT, Chase opted out in 2020, but it didn’t seem to cost him. In fact, he boosted his stock at his pro day with a 4.38 40, 41-inch vertical and 11-foot broad jump. The Bengals drafted him fifth overall, pairing Chase with his former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. At 6-0, 201, Chase has only average size, but he’s bigger and heavier than most burners, and his athleticism will present a problem for cornerbacks tasked with checking him downfield. Don’t expect a massive target share out of the gate, however, as the 6-4, 215-pound Tee Higgins had a strong rookie year in 2020, and slot-man Tyler Boyd will see his looks. Still, the Bengals have no reliable tight ends, so they could rank top-five in cumulative WR targets for a third straight year under head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow, with whom Chase already has an excellent rapport, is expected to be ready for the start of the year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be Burrow-less for a bit
WRCincinnati Bengals
September 14, 2025
Chase may be catching passes from backup quarterback Jake Browning in Week 3 against the Vikings and possibly beyond, as Joe Burrow is believed to have suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's 31-27 win against the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Chase and Burrow got off to a hot start against the Jaguars, linking up for a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter among their numerous early connections. The star wide receiver continued to produce effectively after Burrow got hurt, which is a good sign for Chase's outlook should Burrow miss additional action due to his injury, but expectations for Chase would still be lower as long as Cincinnati's star quarterback is sidelined.
