Ja'Marr Chase November 2025
Why He's the WR1 Contender You Need to Know About
Ja'Marr Chase's November explosion is rewriting the 2025 WR rankings. With Joe Flacco at QB, Chase has posted elite numbers that rival Ja'Marr's career-best performances. Is he your WR1? Let's break down the data.

✨ The Statline
25 receptions on ~76 targets = 32.9% catch rate. 482 yards = 160.7 yards per game. 5 TDs = 1.67 per game. This is elite wide receiver production.
📊 PPR Fantasy Points
November Averages:
25.6 PPR Points Per Game
Based on 25 rec (25 pts) + 482 yards (48.2 pts) + 5 TDs (30 pts) / 3 games
Season Average (through Week 8):
12.6 PPR Points Per Game
100.6 total points through Week 8. November trending 2X season average.
🔗 The Joe Flacco Effect
With Joe Flacco at QB:
28.1 PPR Per Game
In games with Flacco (Nov 1-22)
18 Targets Per Game
Elite target share (30%+ of Bengals air)
Why Flacco Changes Everything: Flacco is a gunslinger who trusts Chase. Previous QB (starter before Flacco) was more conservative. Chase getting 18 targets/game is elite volume that translates to fantasy points.
✅ QB Advantage
Flacco is a proven vet in the pocket. Clean releases = more accurate passes to Chase = higher catch rate and more YAC opportunities.
WR Rankings Debate: WR1 vs WR2
🏆 Season-Long Rankings (through November 1)
WR1: Ja'Marr Chase
12.6 PPR/game × 8 weeks = 100.6 points (but with November trajectory could be WR1)
WR2: Justin Jefferson
Stable but inconsistent. 1,533 yard pace shows floor but lower ceiling than Chase
WR3: CeeDee Lamb
Trade value 24.28 (WR6 ranking). Dak Prescott's return could elevate him
📈 Chase's Case for WR1
- • 25.6 PPR/game in November (highest in NFL among WRs)
- • 18 targets/game average (elite volume)
- • Joe Flacco QB (veteran arm, trusts Chase)
- • 5 remaining games (Week 9-13) to pad stats before playoffs
⚠️ The Concerns
- • Small sample size: 3 games (Nov 1-22) vs full season track record
- • Regression risk: 25.6 PPR/game is unsustainably high (even for elite WRs)
- • Schedule strength: Future matchups vs top DBs could slow Chase
- • Bengals record: If Bengals fall out of playoff contention, could affect effort
Fantasy Manager Strategy
If You OWN Chase
🎯 Hold + Start Every Week
Chase is a TOP-3 WR. Ride the November wave. Fire him up in all lineups.
💰 Don't Sell Low
Don't trade Chase before the deadline. His value is at an all-time high with Flacco.
If You DON'T Own Chase
🤔 Overpay Trade Now
Consider overpaying in trade to acquire Chase before playoffs. November form could continue.
⏰ Act Before Deadline
Trade deadline is Nov 4. Make your move now before Chase's value gets locked in.
⚠️ Risk Factor
Keep monitoring Flacco's health. If he gets injured, Chase's value drops significantly. The Bengals will likely have a backup QB ready, but the uncertainty would hurt Chase's ceiling.
Remaining Schedule Analysis
Weeks 9-13 (Remaining Regular Season)
Chase's remaining schedule features several favorable matchups for WRs:
- ✅ Week 9 vs Bears - Top-5 easiest WR matchup
- ⚠️ Week 10 vs Chargers - Middle-tier defense
- ✅ Week 11 vs Ravens - Moderate matchup
- ⚠️ Week 12 vs Browns - Strong secondary
- ✅ Week 13 vs Steelers - Vulnerable to top WRs
🏆 Playoff Schedule (Weeks 15-17)
Fantasy playoffs typically include Weeks 15-17. Chase's playoff matchups will be critical for championship runs. Monitor Bengals playoff positioning (currently 4-4, in wild card hunt).
