Ja'Marr Chase Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins had a big game Sunday night in his return from a three-week quad injury. Higgins caught a team-high nine passes for 148 yards and a TD in the loss to the Chargers. He tied WR Ja'Marr Chase for the target lead (13) and trailed Chase's team lead in routes by just five. Chase caught seven balls for 75 yards and 2 TDs against the Chargers.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase obliterated the Ravens for 11 catches, 264 yards, and three TDs on Thursday night. The 55.4 PPR points were the 20th most scored by any player in a game in NFL history. They're the eighth most ever by a WR. A Baltimore secondary that's struggled all season and lost S Kyle Hamilton to an ankle injury in this one simply had no answer for Chase. He scored 67- and 70-yard TDs in the second half. And he got the hat trick with a leaping grab for a five-yard TD with less than a minute to go to bring the Bengals within a point. (They failed to convert the 2-point conversion.) Chase was targeted on 17 of QB Joe Burrow's 56 pass attempts -- good for a 30.4%. target share.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) is officially inactive for tonight's game vs. the Ravens. He remained sidelined in practice all week. We'll see if Higgins can make it back for Week 11's game vs. the Chargers, but it's worth noting that Cincinnati has a Week 12 bye. Look for WR Ja'Marr Chase and TE Mike Gesicki to lead the Bengals in targets tonight.

ESPN's Dan Graziano hears that there's "pessimism" about Bengals WR Tee Higgins' availability for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Higgins was added to the injury report with a quad on Friday, limited in practice, and listed as questionable. "The Bengals are planning to go right up until game time before deciding" on Higgins' status, Graziano adds. We'll look for more updates on Higgins on Sunday morning and get Cincinnati's inactives around 11:30 am ET. His absence would mean more target potential for WR Ja'Marr Chase, WR Andrei Iosivas, and the Bengals RBs and TEs. It'd also be a significant loss for QB Joe Burrow.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins led the team with 82 yards on 8 targets in Week 7. He’s now out-targeted Ja’Marr Chase in four straight games, with totals of 38-30.

Bengals WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins had an absolute monster game in the teams OT loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Chase caught 10 passes on 12 targets for 193 yards and two TDs. Higgins had nine catches on 14 targets for 83 yards and two TDs himself.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins had ten targets though he only hauled in six for 60 yards. That led the team with WR Ja’Marr Chase having six targets and catching three for 85 yards and a TD.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins had ten targets though he only hauled in six for 60 yards. That led the team with WR Ja’Marr Chase having six targets and catching three for 85 yards and a TD.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow was 29 of 38 for 324 yards and three TDs in the loss to the Commanders while targeting WR Ja'Marr Chase seven times. Chase had six catches for 119 yards and two TDs. Tee Higgins was targeted six times, including a near TD grab, but only ended with three catches for 39 yards.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow entered Sunday’s game without WR Tee Higgins (hamstring). But despite a tough matchup at Kansas City, the 27-year-old managed 258 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught a solid six passes for 62 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. He snagged all six of his targets, tying WR Andrei Iosivas for the team target lead amid a poor Cincinnati offensive performance. Chase's yardage more than doubled Iosivas' 26 receiving yards. No other Bengal exceeded 18 yards.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is officially active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s still without a contract and said Friday that he’d "probably be limited" if he played in the opener. Exactly how limited he’ll be is unclear, which makes Chase a tricky decision for fantasy owners. We’d expect him to be targeted at a high rate of the snaps he does play, especially with WR Tee Higgins out. See where Chase sits in the Week 1 WR Rankings.

The Bengals added "illness" to WR Ja'Marr Chase's Week 1 injury designation. He remains questionable for the game against the Patriots. We doubt the illness would keep Chase from playing, but he remains without a new contract as of Saturday afternoon. Chase said Friday that he'd be willing to play without a new deal, adding that he'll "probably be limited" if he does suit up. We should get further updates on his Week 1 status on Sunday morning.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase labeled himself a "game-time decision" for Sunday's opener vs. the Patriots. He added that he'll "probably be limited" if he plays. Chase practiced all three days this week and told the media Friday that he's close to agreeing to a new deal with the team. He also said that he'd be willing to play without a new contract in place.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase participated in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media. We'll see how he's listed on the official injury report later today, but this is obviously encouraging news in regards to Chase's status for Week 1 and beyond.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase remained in street clothes for Monday's practice. He's practiced just once since camp opened as he angles for a new contract. Cincinnati's season opener vs. the Patriots is six days away.

Just one day after Bengals HC Zac Taylor said that WR Ja'Marr Chase was expected to play Week 1, the receiver opted not to practice. "I think I probably put my foot in my mouth speaking too quickly," Taylor said afterward. "Again, this is a day-to-day situation. We'll just keep seeing it as that."

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is expected to play in the season opener vs. the Patriots, HC Zac Taylor said Tuesday. Chase staged a hold-in for most of August looking for a new contract but returned to practice this past Sunday.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase joined his team for practice Sunday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It marks the first time this summer that Chase has participated in more than individual work or walk-throughs. And Chase's return came despite no contract extension. He has been holding in throughout training camp in search of a new deal.
