Outlook Ja'Marr Chase
Ja'Marr Chase Active at Miami — Primed for High-Impact Return
Chase cleared concussion protocol and is active for Week 5 against the winless Dolphins after practicing fully on Friday and completing pregame routines. Operating as Joe Burrow's primary weapon on the outside alongside Tee Higgins, he avoids missed time and steps directly back into his customary target-earning role.
With a 92% start rate, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our weekly projection lands around four receptions for 47 yards with strong touchdown equity (0.6 TDs), but his explosive skill set gives him legitimate WR1 tournament-winning ceiling if Cincinnati's passing attack hits its stride.

Jayden Higgins Sidelined for 2026 — Dynasty Stash After Torn ACL
Higgins remains sidelined for the entire 2026 campaign after suffering a torn ACL during August training camp and landing on injured reserve. The injury prompted Houston to acquire Kayshon Boutte and explore further receiver depth alongside Nico Collins. Higgins had an impressive rookie campaign in 2025, hauling in 45 receptions for 563 yards and seven touchdowns, but his sophomore leap is completely on hold until next year.
With Higgins officially ruled out, our models project him for 0.0 fantasy points this week and he sits at 0% started across leagues. He holds zero standalone redraft value right now, though he remains an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues heading into 2027. Be sure to check back often for the latest news on his recovery progress.
