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.

Illness added to injury report
Chase, who still remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, added an illness to his injury status, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Chase has deployed a "hold-in" strategy off an on throughout training camp due to a contract dispute with the Bengals and suggested in comments Friday he would "decide" whether he can play Sunday. In the same press scrum, Chase also opined there was a remote possibility the two sides could come to an agreement on a massive extension Friday, but with the self-imposed deadline passing without any resolution, it's unclear if the latest injury update is related to the uneasy contract situation or something merely coincidental. Tee Higgins (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 1, so if Chase is unable to play the unheralded duo of Andrei Iosivas and Jermaine Burton will be tasked with a significant workload.

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

Says extension close
Chase said Friday his long sought-after contract extension is "within reach" and remains uncertain whether he'll play in Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Patriots, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Chase spoke to the media for the first time Friday and said it will be "my decision" on whether he suits up against the Patriots. The star wideout also said he's fully healthy but would want to be limited to "40 or 50 plays" if he takes the field. Despite his Friday deadline for a deal not having been met, he also expressed optimism an agreement was relatively close. At the same time, Chase, who has two years remaining on his current contract, also conceded he'd be willing to play without an extension this season and return to the bargaining table in 2025.
