The Cincinnati Bengals will visit the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. 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 Chase Playing in Week 16?
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 16?
Ja’Marr Chase has 100 catches in three straight seasons and needs two more TD receptions to hit seven, a threshold he’s hit every season since Cincy made him the fifth overall pick out of LSU.
He’s special, but it’s natural to worry about the status of any player on a team that has nothing to play for.
Don’t.
This will be the third consecutive season the Bengals finish in the bottom half of the AFC North and Chase has cleared 18 PPR points in each of his past four games played during the fantasy postseason. We are going to assume that Joe Burrow is throwing passes for this team in Week 1 of next season and if that’s the case, Chase deserves to again be in the 1.01 conversation.
