November Performance Breakdown

Stat	Value

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 PPG/game × 8 weeks = 100.6 points (but with November trajectory could be WR1)

WR2: Justin Jefferson Stable but inconsistent. 1,533 yard pace through Week 8.

WR3: CeeDee Lamb Trade value 24.28 (WR6 ranking). Dak Prescott's return could elevate him.

Chase's Case for WR1

Why Chase is WR1 Material:

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

Regression Risk:

Small sample size: 3 games (Nov 1-22) vs full season track record
25.6 PPR/game is unsustainably high (even for elite WRs)
Schedule strength vs top DBs could slow Chase
Bengals record could affect effort if they fall out of playoff contention

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

Make your move now before Tuesday 4 PM ET deadline.

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).
