    Is Ja’Marr Chase Playing in Week 10?

    Chase is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Bengals’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Ja’Marr Chase in Week 10?

    Ja’Marr Chase has caught at least five passes in five straight games and has seven scores over his past seven games.

    The bend-don’t-break mentality of NFL defenses these days is hindering Chase (three straight weeks without a 20-yard reception) to a degree. Yet, with more than 10 targets in three of his past five contests, there is simply no way around labeling Cincinnati’s WR1 as an elite option in this great spot.

    Touchdown catches for 41 and 70 yards highlighted Chase’s 41.3-point outing in Week 5 against the Ravens, the highest mark of the week across all positions (10 grabs for 193 yards and those two scores). Tee Higgins’ health impacts almost everyone on Cincinnati’s offense in a significant way — Chase is the exception.

    PFN Insight on the Ravens’ Defense

    The Baltimore Ravens’ defense has briefly flashed upside this year, but there has been no rhyme or reason as to why they have come outside of outlier results. Week 9 was just the second time that the Ravens have been inside the top 15 in a single week this season (Week 3 vs. Buffalo). Outside of that, it has not made for pretty reading.

    The Ravens’ main success defensively has been against the run, but they have struggled against the pass. A large part of that has been an inability to generate consistent pressure without committing extra men to the pass rush. Additionally, the Ravens have also ranked 30th in third-down conversion rate this year, but their ability to stiffen in the red zone (15th) has meant it has not shown up as much as it could have.
