Chase quiet in Week 1 with Higgins; expected to bounce back.

Chase combined with Tee Higgins for just five catches on 10 targets for 71 yards in Week 1 against Tampa Bay, an unsustainable split that won't happen every week. The source notes this quiet performance was partly due to QB Joe Burrow going to safety valve Mike Gesicki more often because of Baker Mayfield's three first-half fumbles giving Cincinnati an early lead.
