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 Tee Higgins is listed as "Doubtful" for Week 1 after suffering a hamstring injury on Thursday in practice. He practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and did not practice on Friday. A Doubtful tag means Higgins is assuredly out of the game against the Patriots.
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.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins was added to the injury report on Thursday with a hamstring and limited in practice. The season couldn't officially start without Higgins hitting the injury report.

The Bengals are expected to have WR Ja'Marr Chase for Sunday's opener vs. the Patriots, although it's still unclear if he'll be ready for a full workload. The rest of the WR corps is rounded out by Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Charlie Jones, and Jermaine Burton.
