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.

Chase was limited to four receptions (five targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Chase was constantly bracketed by safety help all game long with Tee Higgins (hamstring) remaining sidelined due to injury. The Bengals' offense sputtered against a challenging defensive unit Sunday, but Chase's fantasy managers should not get any crazy ideas when setting lineups for the upcoming slate of games in Week 3. There is a good chance that the superstar wideout finally breaks out against a younger Washington defensive unit on Monday Night Football.

Chase secured all six targets for 62 yards in the Bengals' 16-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The standout receiver couldn't parlay what was once an unlikely Week 1 appearance into a truly fruitful fantasy day, but Chase did set the pace for the Bengals in receptions and receiving yards while also tying for the team lead in targets. His outlook heading into the contest was decidedly murky, considering he'd been dealing with an illness, had practiced only a handful of times since the start of training camp and was still without the contract extension that had caused his summer-long hold-in. Nevertheless, Chase did help pick up some of the slack for the absent Tee Higgins (hamstring), but he was capped by the play of a relatively ineffective Joe Burrow. The entire Bengals offense will have to fix whatever ailed it Sunday in a hurry, as an exceedingly tough Week 2 road matchup against the Chiefs awaits.

Chase (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Chase is not expected to reach agreement with the Bengals on a contract extension prior to Sunday's season opener, but that didn't deter Cincinnati from making the wideout active for Week 1. After being listed as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday for non-injury related/rest reasons, Chase practiced fully Friday and labeled himself as a "game-time decision" for Sunday. The wideout was subsequently listed with an illness on Saturday's updated injury report, but with his active status for Sunday's contest ultimately confirmed, Chase is evidently feeling well enough to be in a position to contribute. However, Chase's workload could be modified, as the Bengals may be inclined to ease him back into the mix. Meanwhile, fellow receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is inactive, which creates added opportunities versus New England for some combination of Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Charlie Jones and Jermaine Burton.
