Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) on track to play Week 18 for Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday for Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns.
What It Means:
Chase returned from a one-game absence last week and caught 3 passes on 7 targets for 41 yards. The Bengals have been eliminated from playoff contention, but Chase's participation on Wednesday indicates they are planning on playing him in the season finale. He had 5 catches on 9 targets for 39 yards when the Bengals played the Browns in Week 1.
Chase is the WR10 in numberFire's Week 18 rankings and our models project him for 12.0 FanDuel points, with 8.9 targets, 5.5 receptions, and 68.2 yards. The Browns are allowing the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to wideouts and they have the best pass defense in the league, according to our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
