1. Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (vs. BAL)

These matchup articles are usually centered around guys who are on the start/sit borderline to help managers make the decisions. However, I cannot deny the opportunity that Ja’Marr Chase has this week. Every game Baltimore has played has been a near shootout.

They’re allowing a whopping 315.3 passing yards per game, which is last in the league. Fantasy-wise, they’re allowing the most fantasy points to receivers.

I’m grabbing any shares that I can of this game, which will likely be a shootout and a fantasy points-producing machine.

Chase may arguably have his best fantasy game of the season, as Baltimore has allowed Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and DeVante Parker to go for 190, 171, and 156 yards respectively. Chase easily has the best matchup this week. Play him in DFS if you can afford it as well.
