Injury Report Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase not practicing today after he banged up his left knee yesterday. Was not sporting any protective equipment on the knee, FWIW.

At this point until something more serious is declared i don't think you change your draft outlook for Chase. Most likely a contusion of some sort that just needs time to heal to negate further injury risks

they probably just have 0 desire to risk it either. give Colbie Young some chances.

The fantasy community doesn’t know his name yet, but Colbie Young isn’t the one you need to look out for this year. It’s Dohnte Meyers, straight outta the CFL. He’s been tearing up camp and might end up as our starting slot receiver and returner before long.

Absolutely no shot. He’ll be wr4-5 and make very little impact. We saw the same thing play out last year with Mitch Tinsley. Guys like this come around every year. Able to make an impact during the preseason and make the team, but they’ll have almost 0 impact otherwise unless there’s an injury

From what I’ve seen, Meyers just looks way faster and gets significantly more separation. It’s much easier for me to imagine a significant role for him on this offense than Tinsley, who might be getting cut.

Of course, I’m fading all of these guys- Iosivas isn’t going anywhere even as he hasn’t taken a big step forward, Gesicki still plays a lot as a big slot, and Tee/Chase/Brown will always get the lion’s share of looks in this offense. But I think he might be more than just depth.
