STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Chase recommended at $7,800; historically elite WR separation supports value.

Ja'Marr Chase is recommended in the Primary Cash Lineup for Week 1 DFS at $7,800. Historically, the gap between elite wide receivers and the rest of the field has been massive; in 2025, Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba were nearly must-plays every week. In 2024, Chase clearly separated himself from the group with 85 more points than the second-highest-scoring wide receiver, finishing as the fourth-highest-scoring receiver despite Joe Burrow playing only eight games.
