TOP WIDE RECEIVER PLAYS
Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals – The Bengals look like a completely different team with a competent Joe Flacco at quarterback, as Ja’Marr Chase was targeted on virtually every pass play. Sauce Gardner is still very questionable, and if he doesn’t play, Chase could have one of those games where he goes for over 200 yards with multiple TDs.
Emeka Egbuka, Buccaneers – With Mike Evans out for the regular season, it is now up to Egbuka to become the WR1 for Tampa. He’s clearly up to the job as he’s been a mismatch in almost every game this season, and he should have his way against a Saints defense that has led to big plays all year long. Look for him to have 110 yards and a touchdown.
Zay Flowers, Ravens – The only thing that holds Flowers back from being one of the top 15 wide receivers in the game is his lack of touchdown equity. Chicago has done a terrible job against opposing slot receivers, which is exactly how Lamar Jackson is going to take advantage of the Bears’ pass defense. Look for Flowers to have double-digit targets with at least seven or eight receptions and 90 yards.
