The Cincinnati Bengals will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Ja’Marr Chase.
Is Ja’Marr Chase Playing in Week 11?
Chase is not on the injury report and, barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bengals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Chase in Week 11?
Chase has cleared 90 receiving yards in five straight games and is averaging a cool 15.5 targets since Joe Flacco took over a month ago.
Yep, he’s back.
There was a lot of underneath stuff in Flacco’s first three starts, but he averaged 18.5 yards per catch in Week 9 against the Bears, highlighted by a 36-yard grab. We entered the season thinking that Chase would offer an elite floor/ceiling combination, and he might well be WR1 in both of those categories for the remainder of the season.
Chase has cleared 2.00 yards per route in all four Flacco starts, a run that includes a 16-161-1 win over these Steelers. I’d be surprised if that volume carries over for the rematch, but fading him, even at the high price tag, is dangerous in DFS contests of any kind.
