Chase secured 11 of 17 targets for 264 yards and three touchdowns in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
In what was a season-best performance, Chase fell just short of eclipsing his own 266-yard franchise record set back during his 2021 rookie campaign. The star wideout had already burned the Ravens for a 10-193-2 tally in Week 5, but Chase was on a different level Thursday while scoring from 67, 70 and five yards out in the second half. Chase's final scoring grab came with just 38 seconds remaining and left Cincinnati just a point shy of tying the game at 35-35, but head coach Zac Taylor opted to go for a two-point conversion the Bengals failed to convert. Chase now has a whopping 32 receptions for 416 yards and five touchdowns over his last four games heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 17.

Chase secured seven of 11 targets for 43 yards in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Chase led the Bengals in receptions and targets but could do little with his opportunities, finishing with his second-lowest yardage total of the season. He's uncharacteristically posted 55 receiving yards or fewer in three straight contests, but he also has back-to-back 11-target tallies heading into a Week 10 road matchup Thursday night versus a Ravens team he put up a season-best 10-193-2 line against in Week 5.

Chase secured nine of 11 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 37-17 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Tee Higgins (quadriceps) sidelined, Chase was unsurprisingly heavily involved and did record a touchdown for the second straight game on a two-yard grab with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter. He also led the Bengals in receptions and targets with figures that qualified as his second highest of the season while also checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards to tight end Mike Gesicki. Chase next draws a tantalizing matchup against a vulnerable Raiders defense in a Week 9 home matchup, one that Higgins could potentially miss as well.

Chase recorded five receptions on six targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns. He added one rush for 11 yards.
EDGE Analysis
The Bengals had little pressure to perform offensively to walk away with a win against the Browns, limiting the overall passing volume. However, Chase continued to lag behind Tee Higgins in target volume, likely due to the attention he's received from opposing defenses. Chase did manage a few splash plays of 18 and 17 yards -- the former of which went for a touchdown. He now has fewer than 75 receiving yards in four of seven games on the campaign, though his six touchdowns have made him an elite fantasy option.

Chase recorded five receptions on six targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Chase entered the game on an impressive three-game tear, during which he combined to record 19 receptions for 396 yards and five scores. He found much less room to work against the Giants, who consistently got pressure on Joe Burrow, which led to a lackluster performance for the Bengals' entire passing offense. Despite the relative disappointment, Chase still managed an impressive 37-yard catch late in the third quarter to help his stat line.

Chase caught 10 of 12 targets for 193 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
It was Chase's best single-game performance since he dropped a 15-192-3 line on the Cardinals in Week 5 of last season. The fourth-year wideout has found his groove after a sluggish start to the current campaign, catching 19 of 25 targets for 396 yards and five TDs over the last three games, and Chase isn't likely to slow down any time soon with the Bengals' defense playing so poorly and forcing Joe Burrow to air it out. Chase will look to get into the end zone again in Week 6 against the Giants.

Chase recorded three catches on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Chase was surprisingly relatively uninvolved in the offense, as Tee Higgins drew 10 targets and also led the team in receptions. However, Chase had the most impactful performance of the day thanks primarily to a 63-yard touchdown, during which he bounced off at least three potential tacklers over the middle of the field before sprinting down the sideline for the long score. After a modest start to the season, Chase has nine receptions for 203 yards and three touchdowns combined across the last two contests.

Chase (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
On Wednesday's estimated practice report, Chase was listed as limited due to a shoulder issue, but after logging a full session a day later, the star wideout is on track to face the Panthers on Sunday to the relief of his fantasy managers. Through three games to start the season, Chase leads the Bengals with 16 catches (on 18 targets) for 215 yards and two TDs.

Chase (shoulder) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bengals are holding a walk-through Wednesday, but if they had actually practiced, Chase would have been limited by a shoulder issue. Added context regarding the wideout's Week 4 status will arrive no later than Thursday, but so far there's nothing to suggests that Chase is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Chase hauled in six of seven targets for 118 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in Monday's 38-33 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Chase teamed up with fellow LSU Tiger Joe Burrow to put up monster fantasy lines in a narrow defeat on Monday Night Football. The superstar wideout had been stymied in his first two appearances of 2024, the sum of which (97 yards and no touchdowns) fails to match Monday's output alone. With a signature game in the books, Chase's offseason contract drama seems like a distant memory as the receiver looks to build off this performance in Week 4 against the Panthers.
