Chase's one game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct was upheld upon appeal, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chase will sit out Sunday's game against the Pats, and then return for the Thanksgiving Night game against the Ravens. With Chase out, look for Tee Higgins to get the lead in targets, though also the lead in attention from the Patriots' secondary.

Chase has received a one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct during Cincinnati's loss to the Steelers in Week 11, ruling him out for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Chase is appealing the suspension, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Chase opting to appeal, it appears as though the superstar won't play Week 12 versus New England, leaving Tee Higgins in position as the clear No. 1 receiving option for quarterback Joe Flacco. Wideout Andrei Iosivas and tight end Noah Fant figure to be other beneficiaries of increased opportunities in the receiving came with Chase -- who has drawn double-digit targets in five of his last six appearances -- unavailable. Ben Baby of ESPN reports that there is notable precedent for Chase's suspension being upheld, as Jalen Carter was ejected from Philadelphia's game against the Cowboys in Week 1 after the first play from scrimmage for similar conduct, which the NFL viewed as a one-game suspension.

Chase caught three of 10 targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
After recording a franchise-record 16 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Steelers, Chase was held to his second-fewest catches and third-fewest yards of the season in Sunday's rematch. Prior to this unexpected dip in production, Chase had at least six catches and 91 receiving yards in each of the previous five games. He'll likely face a heavy dose of top Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez in Week 12, but Chase's ceiling remains as high as it gets.

Chase brought in six of eight targets for 111 yards in the Bengals' 47-42 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Chase played a rare second fiddle to fellow wideout Tee Higgins, who recorded one more reception and target apiece while also outpacing Chase by 10 yards. Nevertheless, Chase still continued to display excellent chemistry with Joe Flacco, who has peppered him with an astounding 50 targets in the last three games alone. Chase has eclipsed the century mark on four occasions overall, and he's carrying a bloated 76-831-5 receiving line into a Week 11 road matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 16 following a Week 10 bye.

Chase caught 12 of 19 targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
After setting a franchise record with 23 targets in the Week 7 win over Pittsburgh, Chase continued to see heavy volume from Joe Flacco, though a Jets secondary missing Sauce Gardner (concussion) did a surprisingly decent job of keeping Chase in check. Chase's fantasy managers won't be too disappointed with this outing, especially in PPR formats, though the Bengals will be kicking themselves for getting outscored 23-7 in the fourth quarter by a previously winless Jets team. Given how frequently Flacco looks his way, Chase has returned to the elite echelon of fantasy wide receivers ahead of a Week 9 home game versus the Bears.

Chase secured 16 of 23 targets for 161 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 33-31 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Chase's eye-popping reception and target totals were career-high figures, as the All-Pro receiver put together a night for the ages in only his second game working with Joe Flacco. The 2021 first-round pick also struck for his fifth touchdown catch of the season on an eight-yard grab with under five minutes remaining in the second half. Chase's otherworldly numbers aren't completely surprising considering the multiple memorable performances he's already put together in his career, but Thursday's effort was clearly on another level. Given his undeniable chemistry with Flacco, Chase will remain an elite option in all formats during a Week 8 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Chase recorded 10 receptions on 12 targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Chase got a change in quarterback with Joe Flacco under center, and he logged his highest target total since Joe Burrow (toe) has been sidelined. The Packers did a good job limiting his production for most of the game, though Chase eventually managed to break through for long catches of 12, 18 and 19 yards in the second half, the final of which went for an acrobatic touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The performance gives some hope that Chase will remain a reliable fantasy contributor even in the absence of Burrow, as he has now found the end zone and topped 100 receiving yards in consecutive contests.

Chase (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Chase approached the contest with a 'questionable' designation after he participated in a walk-through Friday before being sent home for the team's practice later that day and officially being deemed a 'DNP.' With his Week 6 availability confirmed, Chase will operate as a key passing target for veteran signal caller Joe Flacco, who has replaced Jake Browning as the Bengals' starting QB. In five games to date, Chase has put together a fantasy-friendly 32/374/3 receiving line on 45 targets.

Chase (illness) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Chase participated in a walk-through Friday before being sent home for the team's practice later that day and subsequently being listed as a non-participant. While Adam Schefter of ESPN also suggests that Chase is on track to play Sunday, fantasy managers will nonetheless want to verify the star wideout's status when the Bengals release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's cleared to play, Chase will be working with a new quarterback in veteran Joe Flacco, who will displace Jake Browning as the team's starter.

Chase (illness), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game against Green Bay, is "trending toward playing," NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chase was deemed questionable entering the weekend after missing Friday's practice due to an illness. The star wideout appears to be doing better, though Schultz notes that the Bengals will see how he feels Sunday morning before making a final decision on his status versus the Packers. Should Chase indeed be able to suit up, he'll be working with a new quarterback, as veteran Joe Flacco is slated to start behind center for Cincinnati after the team acquired him in a trade with Cleveland on Tuesday.
