Outlook Ja'Marr Chase

Ja'Marr Chase at Baltimore — Primed for High-Scoring Division Clash

Completely past his earlier concussion and firmly entrenched as the focal point of the Bengals' passing attack alongside quarterback Joe Burrow, Chase enters a favorable rivalry matchup. Baltimore's defense has historically struggled to contain him, with Chase compiling 1,288 receiving yards and nine scores across 11 career meetings against the Ravens.

In a matchup boasting high-scoring shootout potential, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as an elite starter. Our models project roughly 6 to 7 receptions for 75 yards and nearly a touchdown, putting him in line for around 20.5 fantasy points with explosive multi-touchdown upside.

Outlook Germie Bernard

Germie Bernard in Paris Against New Orleans — High-Volume Surge Solidifies Starting Value

Bernard has quickly seized a prominent role in Pittsburgh's aerial attack with Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson sidelined. Operating opposite DK Metcalf, the rookie wideout has commanded 21 targets over his past two contests, securing 17 receptions for 167 yards and a touchdown while earning Aaron Rodgers' trust.

Our weekly projection slates Bernard for 4.9 receptions and 46 receiving yards (11.8 fantasy points) against New Orleans. With his start percentage skyrocketing to 78% over recent weeks, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a high-floor WR3 or flex.
