Is Ja'Marr Chase playing tonight? Latest on Bengals WR for Week 3 fantasy football
Who would have thought the Cincinnati Bengals would be 0-2 to start the season? Their Week 2 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs was earmarked as one of the games the world would tune in for but a 26-25 loss means the Bengals find themselves in a hole entering Week 3. The Bengals also have a few injuries to deal with ahead of their showdown with the Washington Commanders later today, but one man who hasn't popped up on the injury report all week is Ja'Marr Chase.
However, Chase's teammate Tee Higgins was a concern earlier in the week. Higgins missed the first two games nursing a hamstring injury but he's expected to make his season debut tonight on Monday Night Football.
Is Ja'Marr Chase playing tonight?
When it comes to Chase, the question this week isn't if he's playing, it's how much he will play. With Higgins back, expect Chase's workload to take a minor hit against the Commanders. The Bengals will also be able to call upon the services of Andre Iosivas who impressed in bursts last season.
Cincinnati Bengals injury report
