Insider Jordan Schultz confirms that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) won't play vs. the Steelers on Saturday. Schultz adds that "the team is optimistic about his prognosis moving forward" but will "proceed cautiously." There's certainly a chance that Chase also misses Week 17, although he's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches until we know more.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is "likely to miss some time" with his shoulder injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "The expectation is that he is sidelined for this week’s game against the Steelers, and it could extend beyond that, as well," Rapoport adds. Chase is worth keeping stashed on fantasy rosters in case he makes it back for Week 17, but fantasy owners should plan on being without him in Week 16. Chase's absence frees up targets for WRs Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.
The Bengals are "bracing for Ja'Marr Chase to miss time" with his shoulder injury, according to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer. Chase was originally scheduled to get an MRI on Sunday, but his shoulder was too sore. He'll get that MRI tomorrow. We should get an update on his status then.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is "day-to-day" with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, HC Zac Taylor said Sunday. It sounds like Chase has a chance to be ready for this coming Saturday's game vs. the Steelers. We'll track his status throughout the coming week.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder in Saturday's win over the Vikings. Chase is scheduled for additional testing, but "the hope is that maybe he won't miss any time," according to Garafolo. We'll look for more details on Chase's status and track his practice participation this coming week.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase suffered a shoulder injury in the second half of Saturday's game vs. the Vikings and will not return. He was shown on the sidelines with what looked like a sling underneath his hoodie. We'll look for an update on Chase's injury and his status for Week 16 and beyond.
Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and should be ready for his usual role vs. the Vikings on Saturday afternoon.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed earlier in the day that Chase is expected to be ready for Saturday's game vs. the Vikings. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow, but he can stay penciled into Week 15 fantasy lineups for now.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report. Cincinnati only held a walkthrough, and Chase was out there with the team, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. It sounds like Chase should be fine for Saturday afternoon's game vs. the Vikings, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.
The Bengals’ passing game exploded in Week 13 vs. the Jaguars, headlined by a tremendous 11-149-1 receiving line from superstar WR Ja’Marr Chase. His 31.6 PPR points in the contest rank as Chase’s second-highest total this season and should assuage any concerns about his ability to produce with QB Jake Browning under center. While fantasy managers can feel confident in Chase moving forward, it may be time to get worried about his teammate Tee Higgins. In his first game back from a Week 9 hamstring injury, Higgins drew a minuscule 3 targets (fourth on the team) on Monday night and finished with 3 catches for 36 yards. This is now the fifth time in Higgins’ eight healthy games he’s hauled in 3 or fewer catches and failed to record double-digit PPR points. It’s probably best to leave the soon-to-be free agent on your bench headed into the fantasy playoffs.
Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase totaled 81 scoreless yards in a Week 12 loss to Pittsburgh. He tallied 2 catches for 45 yards on a pair of fluky, tipped balls. Jake Browning’s play proved up and down in his starting debut, but there’s a silver lining here. Cincinnati’s WR schedule looks favorable going forward, starting next week vs. Jacksonville. We’ll see if Tee Higgins makes it back for that one.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his wrist that will require surgery, HC Zac Taylor announced Friday. It ends a frustrating season that saw Burrow battle through a calf injury for the first six weeks, get hot coming off the bye, and then suffer this wrist injury. We'll look for further details on Burrow's rehab plan and whether his 2024 season will be impacted. His absence the rest of this season leaves Cincinnati with QBs Jake Browning and A.J. McCarron (practice squad). Browning was abysmal in relief of Burrow in Baltimore on Thursday night, completing eight of 14 passes for 68 yards (4.9 YPA). It's about the biggest QB downgrade imaginable and awful news for Bengals pass catchers. The offense figures to lean more on the running game going forward, but we still wouldn't consider this an upgrade for RB Joe Mixon because the Bengals will struggle to sustain drives and score points under Browning.
Bengals HC Zac Taylor said after Thursday night's loss to the Ravens that QB Joe Burrow is believed to have a sprained right wrist. "Fell on it early in the game and then felt it on the touchdown pass," Taylor said. Burrow was spotted with a wrap on that wrist prior to Thursday's game but was not listed on the Week 11 injury report. He had a "multi-layered" wrap on the wrist after the game, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. Burrow is scheduled for an MRI on Monday, so we should get more details on the injury over the next 24 hours. Stay tuned. QB Jake Browning mustered just 68 yards on 8-of-14 passing (4.9 YPA) in relief of Burrow in Baltimore.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase does not appear on the Week 11 injury report. Playing through a back injury last week, Chase registered a season-low 84% snap rate and a season-low six targets. He avoided a setback, though, and should be closer to 100% for Thursday night's showdown with the Ravens. Chase remains a must-start for that one.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after suffering what’s been reported as a back bruise in last Sunday night’s win over the Bills. Chase was truly 50/50 for this one, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and “it's unclear how functional he'll be." Chase did enough in pre-game warmups to get the green light, though. His fantasy floor and ceiling are lower than usual this week, but you’d still need to be loaded at WR to bench him.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (back) "did what was necessary in his warmups" and will play vs. the Texans today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Time will tell how effective he is," Rapoport adds. There's obviously elevated risk with Chase this week, but he'd be extremely tough to leave out of fantasy lineups -- especially with WR Tee Higgins out.
NFL Network reports that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is "considered 50-50 at best to play" today against the Texans. Ian Rapoport adds that "it's unclear how functional he'll be" after Chase hurt his back in last Sunday night's win over the Bills. He'll be a game-time decision for the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Check back for updates ahead of lineup lock to see where Chase winds up in our Week 10 rankings -- if he's active. He'll clearly carry some risk even if he's playing.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Texans. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. HC Zac Taylor was non-committal on Chase's availability when asked Friday. We're expecting him to play but will look for further updates on his status and get Cincinnati's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
