November Performance Breakdown

Overall Stats

Stat	Value
Receptions	25
Receiving Yards	482
Touchdowns	5
Yards Per Game	160.7
TDs Per Game	1.67

The Statline: 25 receptions, 482 yards, 5 TDs in just 3 games. 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 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).

Competing for WR1: Other elite WRs remain in discussion, but Chase's October/November surge has solidified his top-5 status with legitimate WR1 argument depending on league scoring.
