This week's outlook
Chase has no injury concerns and carries a 16.5-point projection at $7,600. Week 1's quiet output looks like an outlier given his finish to last season, and Cincinnati should lean on him more in a close, competitive spot against Houston. A bounce-back target share would confirm the start; another muted outing would raise real questions.
