Injury Status: Healthy
by Ryan O'Bleness
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase posted season-highs in targets (16), receptions (11) and receiving yards (141), while scoring a receiving touchdown, in a 43-36 overtime victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. Chase led the Bengals in targets and receptions, while Tee Higgins led the team in receiving yardage (155 yards on 10 receptions) and touchdown catches (two). Sunday's game marked the first time in 2026 that Chase has reached the 100-yard mark in a game, but the superstar wide receiver had a vintage performance and easily surpassed that number. Quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 462 yards and five touchdowns against the Titans, and Chase and Higgins were the big beneficiaries of Burrow's big performance. Chase remains an unquestioned WR1.

Ja'Marr Chase Fantasy Football Outlook: Top Three Consensus Pick, One of the Surest Things in Fantasy Football
Cincinnati Bengals Ja'Marr Chase was one of the top players in fantasy football last season, catching 125 of 185 targets for 1,412 yards, eight touchdowns, and adding 14 rushing yards on three attempts across 16 games.

Cincinnati Bengals Ja'Marr Chase was one of the top players in fantasy football last season, catching 125 of 185 targets for 1,412 yards, eight touchdowns, and adding 14 rushing yards on three attempts across 16 games. He owned 30.5% of the team's targets and 34.8% of the team's air yards, but his average depth of target was only 8.3%. The Bengals offense will be explosive again, and with a defense expected to be at the bottom of the league, it's a recipe for fantasy gold. Key pieces such as wide receiver Tee Higgins and running back Chase Brown are returning in 2026. Chase's fantasy value relies on the health of star quarterback Joe Burrow, who was limited to eight appearances last year due to a toe injury. However, he did have great chemistry with Joe Flacco when he was filling in for Burrow, racking up a whopping 72 targets in over five games. Flacco is also returning to the Bengals and signed a one-year deal this offseason. With Burrow healthy and Flacco coming back, Chase is set to have another monster season in 2026 and is a top-three pick in fantasy as his Sleeper ADP is currently third overall heading into fantasy football draft season.less...
