Ja’Marr Chase is a 2021 fantasy football draft sleeper at wide receiver and an ADP draft value. Target Chase as an undervalued WR in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~75
ANALYSIS: Does this feel like banging my head against a wall? Maybe. Am I still going to do it? Absolutely. For us Chase truthers, this preseason has felt like a nightmare. With Chase catching one of five targets in the preseason and dropping the other four, the alarms are starting to go off in the fantasy community. However, I’m going to hold firm despite everything saying to abandon ship.
Practice clips have shown Chase performing at a level we were all hoping to see. This includes making powerful contested catches, dynamic ball adjustments, and most importantly, elite chemistry with Joe Burrow. This team will be forced into negative game scripts thanks to their non-existent defense and tough schedule, giving Burrow every opportunity to feed his receivers. Chase has never struggled with drops in his college career, and while it is worrisome to see them in the preseason, if you watch his routes he is managing to get open.
Personally, I’d rather see Chase get open and make NFL corners miss in the preseason than watch a rookie struggle to run successful routes and then drop the ball. Obviously, it would be ideal if he could both catch and dust NFL corners, which I think will come together during the season. In the middle rounds of fantasy football drafts, you want upside, and there aren't many wide receivers in this range that could potentially breakout the way Chase can.
