Ja'Marr Chase

Ja’Marr Chase (contract) participated in Wednesday’s practice.

Chase had been holding out in hopes of getting a contract extension from the Bengals this offseason, but, as of the Wednesday before Week 1, nothing has materialized. Despite the lack of a new deal, Chase was listed as a limited participant in the first official practice of the season. Joe Burrow told reporters Chase is “ready to go” for the team’s opener versus New England. Barring a last-minute plot twist, fantasy managers can keep Chase in their lineups as a top-five player at his position.
