Ja'Marr Chase Locked In And Ready To Be Even Better
3 years agoCincinnati Bengals all-world wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has big expectations for himself heading into Year 2. The 2021 Rookie of the Year had 1,455 receiving yards, the most from a rookie in the Super Bowl era. He also had 81 catches on 128 targets with 13 touchdowns. Chase is looking to deliver a comparable progression to his former LSU teammate, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, to take a leap forward upon an already stellar start. "Last year I was just out there running routes, having fun again," Chase said. "Now I've got all the small details down, like learning how to set people up before the next route. And I feel more comfortable with the offense. Maybe I can move around a little more when we see different things on film. I feel like all of that's going to make me a lot better this year." It is utterly unthinkable to project him getting much better, but with the parallel development of franchise quarterback Joe Burrow, Chase may be as likely as anyone to top the fantasy charts at his position.
