All Legendary Upside insights about Ja'Marr Chase
PositiveMatchupSep 12, 2026
Chase has a strong Week 1 matchup advantage against the Buccaneers secondary, which looks bad on paper; the Bucs are elevating Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parish at cornerback outside of Zion McCollum, and both were awful last year. The source explicitly prefers getting Burrow in shotgun to let Chase attack this weak secondary rather than playing under center against Tampa's strong front seven. Chase is a foundational piece of the Bengals' offensive identity; the team was built around Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and T. Higgins as core strengths, and the source argues the Bengals should lean into this strength rather than experimenting with run-heavy and under-center approaches that limit their effectiveness.NegativeInjuryAug 25, 2026
The source remains unconcerned about Ja'Marr Chase's knee hyperextension, citing his own comments that he could have played through it; the source previously treated his draft position as a one-pick discount relative to Puka Nacua, indicating he is still viewed as a top-tier asset.NegativeUsageAug 13, 2026
The source identifies Ja'Marr Chase as one of the primary offensive weapons in a highly concentrated Bengals offense, which impacts the target distribution for other players like Chase Brown.NegativeProjectionAug 11, 2026
Ja'Marr Chase is selected with the 1.03 pick in the Big Eliminator tournament draft.PositiveUsageDec 13, 2025
With Higgins out, Chase is positioned to get peppered with targets just as he was two weeks ago when Higgins was previously unavailable. The source sees him as the cover boy in the walkthrough and it's really hard to see how he doesn't get heavy target volume. The Bengals will run their offense through the passing game as they almost always do, evidenced by their 7% pass rate over expected against the Bills last week despite facing a huge run funnel.PositiveProjectionDec 5, 2025
Elite WR1 with strong setup against Bills. Chase has been really good this year with a strong bounceback game last week. He has double-digit targets in six of his past seven games across three different quarterbacks, with 14 targets last week. Chase can play multiple positions in the formation and benefits from Higgins' return, which allows him to move around rather than being locked into a deep-threat role. Cam Ward is excited about Chase in this matchup against the Bills' pass defense, which has allowed strong performances from multiple QBs (Lamar Jackson, Drake May, Tua Tagovailoa all very strong against this defense). Gets significant slot work and underneath targets in Bengals' pass-first scheme.NegativeValueOct 24, 2025
Referenced as a chalk play that drives lineup construction strategy; gamers are prioritizing 'the two hammers at running back and Jamar Chase,' which pushes tight end into pay-down territory for DFS.
