Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 6

Bold Prediction #3: Ja’Marr Chase has his best week

It’s not bold to think that Ja’Marr Chase is going to have a big week this week. He has a big week every week. There is one week where he didn’t have a touchdown. Last week was his best week. He had 159 yards on six catches and scored a touchdown, good for 21 points even in standard leagues.

This week, he’s going to eclipse those numbers. He’s facing a feisty Detroit Lions team that is trying really hard for Dan Campbell, but their injured secondary isn’t equipped to stop a player like Chase. This is especially true when Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins are on the field calling for coverage themselves. In the past, one could just put a cornerback and safety on the best player and dare him to beat them two on one. Here, the Lions can’t afford to do that.

This will mean at least 150 yards and two touchdowns from Chase on Sunday. Joe Burrow has been doing a lot with what he’s been given, and he should be given more this week than in any week prior. Chase is going to go off like he never has before, and he’s going off every week. The only concern here is the Bengals get out to a big lead and rely on its running game, but they do that during the middle parts of the game and they still go over the top every so often. This shouldn’t be a huge concern.
