The Cincinnati Bengals will visit the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. 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 14?

Should You Start or Sit Chase in Week 14?
Earning targets at the professional level are difficult. You have to win on your route, stay connected with your quarterback, and navigate the real-time shifts of the defense.
It’s no easy task.
Remove a threat on the other side of the field, insert a quarterback who hasn’t played in over two months, and match up with an improving defense attached to a team that is trying to regain some Super Bowl steam … a poor Ja’Chase showing in Week 13 would certainly have been easy to explain away.
Instead, he earns a 31.8% target share, clears 100 yards, and piles up 24.3 expected PPR points.
Some players are just built differently, and Chase has proven time and time again to be that.
The 50% catch rate obviously leaves plenty to be desired, but we have numerous data points that suggest efficiency struggles aren’t to be taken lightly. This is as good a QB/WR connection as there is in the league, and while the Bills are better against the pass than the run, there’s no reason to panic.
Zay Flowers, Stefon Diggs, Drake London, Rashee Rice, and Jaylen Waddle are the WR1s who have posted 18+ PPR points in this matchup this season, paving the way for Chase to equal what he did on Thanksgiving if not improve.
