Ja'Marr Chase

The reigning No. 1 fantasy receiver, Chase outscored second-place Justin Jefferson by a massive 85.5 points. His career year included nine top-10 fantasy weeks (three more than any other receiver), as well as the most routes, targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns and end zone targets (17) in the league. He has finished in the top 12 in fantasy PPG in all four of his NFL seasons, including top 5 in three of them. Chase became the league's highest-paid non-quarterback during the offseason and is a heavily targeted 25-year-old superstar on the league's pass-heaviest offense with an elite QB in Joe Burrow. He should be the first WR off the board and is a strong option with the No. 1 overall pick.

Chase finished first in both total PPR points among wide receivers at 403, and most fantasy points per game at 23.7, with a four-point per game gap between him and second place.
He benefits from playing with the highest graded passer of the past three years, and a pass-heavy team. His 39.7 routes per game over the last three seasons is the most for all wide receivers.
The Bengals kept their head coach, offensive coordinator, wide receiver coach, quarterback room, wide receiver room and tight end room, without adding any rookies or free agents to those positions. The minimal changes make Chase a much safer projection than any receiver not on the Bengals.
