2024 Player Outlook
Ja'Marr Chase averaged 19.0 PPR points per game in 2023 with Joe Burrow at QB but only 12.2 points per game after Joe Burrow suffered a wrist injury. That's how it goes in fantasy football sometimes but the good news is that Joe Burrow has been throwing since April and his velocity reportedly has not diminished. The Bengals managed to retain Tee Higgins on the franchise tag but lost Tyler Boyd to free agency so Ja'Marr Chase should be in a prime spot once again to be the Bengals top target-earner.
