Hip injury has sidelined top WR since Week 7
The Bengals have won three in a row and reinforcements are on the way. Source says the plan is for star WR Ja’Marr Chase (hip) to return this week. He was close last week and is expected to go this week vs. the Chiefs. (NFL Network – Ian Rapoport)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Chase was reportedly close to being activated against the Titans in Week 12. The fact he was limited in practice all of last week suggests he could be a full participant at some point this week, but fantasy managers still need to keep their expectations in check until he proves he can play a full game. Consider him a high-risk WR2 for now with his usual WR1 upside.
