News: 14 hours agoChase (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Spin: Chase was a full practice participant Wednesday and Thursday before resting Friday, with the Bengals citing 'rest' rather than his knee as the reason for Friday's absence. He suffered a minor knee hyperextension Aug. 25 and returned to practice within two weeks. Chase should be ready for his usual role this Sunday against the Buccaneers.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Chase is fresh off yet another elite fantasy season and he's now finished four of his five NFL campaigns no lower than fifth in fantasy PPG (the exception was 11th in 2023). Chase actually saw a big dip in yardage (1,740 to 1,426), TDs (17 to 8) and fantasy PPG (23.7 to 19.6) from 2024 to 2025 (which was no surprise with Joe Burrow missing nine games), but still put up big numbers thanks to pacing the league in pass routes and targets for the second season in a row. In fact, Chase's 125 receptions make him the third receiver in NFL history with 125-plus catches in multiple seasons. The 26-year-old remains the top target in a high-scoring Bengals offense, and is one of the top players in all of fantasy.
