Trade For These WRs in Fantasy
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
This is your last chance. Right now. Ahead of Week 3.
Ja’Marr Chase is still elite. He just hasn’t shown it over the first two weeks of the season.
The Bengals are notoriously slow starters. Chase sat out pretty much all of training camp. They are just getting back into the swing of things.
Joe Burrow looked much better in Week 2 against a very good Chiefs defense. Just wait for next week.
The explosion is coming against a Commanders defense that had no answer for Malik Nabers to the tune of 10 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown.
This Commanders’ pass defense looks just as bad this year as it was last year when it surrendered the second-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Chase may finish Week 3 as the overall WR1.
As an example, if you can trade Tyreek Hill for Chase and a small piece, make that move immediately.
Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
This is another example of wanting to buy high. Rashee Rice is already a fantasy WR1. I’m pretty sure he’s being valued that way by fantasy managers.
Through two weeks, Rice has games of 17.3 and 18.5 fantasy points. He’s not exactly flying under the radar. However, I’m not sure he’s truly being properly valued.
There are three, maybe four receivers I would rather have than Rice for the rest of the season.
This isn’t a low WR1. This is an elite WR1. This is a guy who should be viewed on par with CeeDee Lamb and a healthy Cooper Kupp.
Patrick Mahomes hasn’t even played his best yet. When this offense truly starts humming, we could see some monster games from Rice.
