Ja'Marr Chase

This Bengals offense could look very different in 2024, but one thing remains certain.
Ja'Marr Chase is going to be the focal point. He finished with an impressive stat line: 100 receptions (career-high) on 145 targets (26% target share), amassing 1,216 yards at an average of 12.2 yards per catch. Chase scored 7 touchdowns while ranking top-10 in red zone targets. Over 16 games, he totaled 212.7 fantasy points, averaging a strong 13.3 points per game (WR13). But we all know Chase left production on the table without his healthy star QB. Weeks 1-10 with Joe Burrow, Chase averaged 16.2 points per game (6th) and 19.6 expected points per game (fifth).

The Bengals exercised the fifth-year option on WR Ja'Marr Chase's contract. The expectation is that contract talks will begin soon.

Fantasy Impact

It's not surprising that the Bengals picked up Chase's option. The former top-five pick has been a massive piece of Cincinnati's offense whenever he plays and figures to reset the WR market, whenever he signs his new contract.
