Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals — Buying into the Joe Burrow-less Bengals’ offense might seem like insanity after the last two weeks with Jake Browning under center. But Chase is the one player in this attack whom I’m willing to make a deal to acquire based on how low the public perception has fallen after he failed to top 50 yards in two consecutive outings. While Cincinnati isn’t the same team without Burrow, we should account for their opponents the last two weeks being the Vikings and Broncos, who are two of the five toughest defenses for fantasy receivers and quarterbacks. Chase should have a little more breathing room against the Lions, before his schedule softens up considerably from Week 7 on. Expectations still need to be adjusted, but if you can acquire Chase for WR2 value, it’s worth the risk.

A.J. Brown, Eagles — The Eagles have thrown 24 pass attempts or less in three of their four games this season. Consequently, Brown has been held under 30 receiving yards in those contests. That’s the concern here. It’s not Brown’s talent dropping off, because we saw him go off against the Rams in Week 3. This is simply a volume issue, which will lead to a lack of motivation for Brown if he’s not getting the ball enough. The problem is that Philly is winning with this brand of football and doesn’t need to change anything. That’s why I’ve changed my approach on Brown and moved him down into the low-end WR2 range for the rest of the season. He’s going to be very boom or bust, with many more down weeks on the way.
