Ja'Marr Chase Heating Up Ahead of Week 7
Ja'Marr Chase is heating up at the right time, delivering back-to-back strong performances after an up-and-down start to the season. Over his last two games, Chase has caught 16 of 22 targets for 204 yards and three touchdowns, flashing the elite form that made him the overall WR1 in 2024. His inconsistency early this season stemmed largely from Joe Burrow's toe injury, which limited the offense's rhythm and explosiveness. Now, with Joe Flacco taking over under center, Chase appears to have retained his former production to a certain extent. The Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers sets up well, as Pittsburgh has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, surrendering 18+ PPR points to stars like Garrett Wilson, Justin Jefferson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With a favorable matchup and an improving quarterback situation, Chase profiles as a mid-range WR1 in Week 7.
