Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) officially out Week 16 for Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) will not play in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, per head coach Zac Taylor.
What It Means:
Chase was unable to practice this week and might be facing a multi-game absence. Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will command more attention with Chase sidelined.
Higgins is the WR19 in numberFire's Week 16 PPR rankings and our models project him for 11.2 FanDuel points, with 7.7 targets, 4.8 receptions, and 67.9 yards. Boyd is the WR45 and projected for 7.3 FanDuel points on 5.4 targets. The Steelers have a top-10 pass defense in the NFL, according to numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
