Ja'Marr Chase has spent his career making the spectacular look routine, which is a problem for a writer and a gift to a fantasy owner: there is nothing left to overshoot. Cincinnati took him fifth overall out of LSU, and he has done what the draft card promised and then some. The interesting question is not whether he is good. It is whether the price of admission still pays for itself.

Chase's Week 2 was the story: he scored twice in a Bengals win, and his touchdown grab drew comparisons to Odell Beckham Jr.'s famous catch, with CBS Sports NFL, Yahoo Sports NFL and the Bengals' own site all spotlighting it as a potential catch of the year. The follow-up news is off the field: The Athletic NFL and NBC ProFootballTalk report Chase and Tee Higgins were fined for celebratory gestures the league deemed obscene. Per CBS Sports NFL, Chase plans to appeal the fine and wants the players' association to fight for players' money on such penalties. No injury concerns surfaced in the reporting; his midweek press conferences were carried by the team.
