2. WR Ja’Marr Chase vs. the Detroit Lions

Something special is building in Cincy that is very reminiscent of Andy Dalton and A.J. Green’s chemistry years ago. Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase are picking up right where they left off at LSU for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chase is now up to 456 yards and six touchdowns on the year, and that number will undoubtedly grow against a Detroit Lions team that can’t seem to make it happen every week. They played their hearts out in Week 5 against Minnesota, yet still managed to lose.

What they didn’t manage to do is cover Justin Jefferson, who went off for 124 yards. Expect Chase to post similar results in their Week 6 matchup, making him a solid WR2 start this week and an easy pick in daily fantasy leagues.
