Ja'Marr Chase's fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 15 (2023). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Ja'Marr Chase for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: While Ja'Marr Chase has survived without Joe Burrow, last week's 3-catch, 29-yard outing are indicative of his floor with Jake Browning under center. Browning has consistently looked Chase's way -- he boasts a 24.4% target share with the backup at the helm -- which is reason for optimism for his fantasy managers ahead of the fantasy playoffs.

The former LSU star will face a Minnesota defense that's continued to improve as the season has progressed. The Vikings run a blitz-heavy scheme that will put Browning under pressure, but their secondary has relinquished the league's third-most catches to opposing wide receivers. Chase will continue to be an erratic fantasy option for the rest of the season, but his elite talent and unlimited upside makes him a must-start WR1 weekly.
