Ja'Marr Chase having 2.2 points at 66% rostered was tough. The smart play would have been to play both Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs instead of Chase, and I'm setting a reminder in my phone for next year for Week 1 to "DO NOT PLAY JA'MARR CHASE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES". Chase has averaged just 39 yards in Week 1 over the last four seasons.
