Ja'Marr Chase Ruled Out For Week 16

Ja'Marr Chase Ruled Out For Week 16

11 months ago

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) will not play in Week 16 on Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, according to a source. Chase suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in Saturday's overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings, although the Bengals are optimistic about his prognosis moving forward. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is calling Chase more "week-to-week" than anything, so there's a chance he also has to miss the Week 17 showdown in Kansas City against the Chiefs. The 23-year-old did not practice on Tuesday and probably won't practice the rest of the week. It's a tough break for fantasy managers still competing for a championship this week. With Chase out this weekend, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will see more targets, but Chase's absence is bad news for the upside of quarterback Jake Browning as a streamer. UPDATE: Chase didn't practice on Wednesday.
