"Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was the No. 1 pick in most ESPN drafts this year, coming off a season in which he caught 127 passes for 1,708 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. He was the top flex-eligible scorer in PPR formats, second overall only to Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. However, awesome QB Joe Burrow threw every one of Cincinnati's passes for the 2024 season. He may not throw another this season."
"It was 2023, his first season with the Bengals, years after he led the Washington Huskies in the Pac-12 (look it up, it was a legit conference). Browning finished sixth in the 2016 Heisman Trophy voting. He tossed 43 touchdown passes. He played in the Peach Bowl. He took over for an injured Burrow during the Week 11 game at Baltimore and was a top-10 fantasy QB in five of the final six weeks, averaging 20 fantasy points per game."
"Oddly enough, Chase was not overly productive during the Browning games, though he lit up the Jacksonville Jaguars for 11 catches, 149 yards and a touchdown in Week 13. Some will use this seven-game period when Chase had only one big game as proof that he no longer belongs in the WR1 conversation at all. I don't believe it. I left Chase at the very top in this week's"
Ja'Marr Chase entered drafts as the No. 1 pick after catching 127 passes for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. Chase led flex-eligible PPR scoring and ranked second overall behind Lamar Jackson. Joe Burrow threw every Bengals pass in 2024 but may not throw again this season. Backup Jake Browning previously stepped in during 2023 and delivered several top-10 fantasy QB performances, averaging 20 fantasy points in late games. Chase showed limited production during Browning's starts except for an 11-catch, 149-yard, one-touchdown outing in Week 13, yet remains ranked at the top.
