Cincinnati has spent decades being the team that developed receivers by accident, so there is some justice in the one they drafted on purpose becoming the best of them. Ja'Marr Chase was taken fifth out of LSU the year after the Tigers' offense made him famous, and the Bengals got exactly what the tape promised. At his age the argument is not whether he is good, it is whether anybody else in the game is closer to the top of the board, and the honest answer is no.

The week began with Yahoo Sports NFL reporting Chase would be limited in Bengals practice after a knee injury scare the previous week, and NBC ProFootballTalk noted Chase and Tee Higgins sat out Tuesday's session while the team still expected both for Week 1. By Monday, Yahoo Sports NFL had Chase back on the practice field, and NBC ProFootballTalk confirmed Chase and Higgins returned to practice. Separately, a Tampa Bay Buccaneers feature discussed Alex Anzalone earning the green dot and the challenge of facing Joe Burrow and Chase, an early sign opponents are game-planning for him.
Headlines link out to the publisher. An article is listed because it names Ja'Marr Chase somewhere in the piece, which is not the same as being about him. Feeds are checked hourly and are not real-time.
