Despite the Bengals-Steelers matchup not appearing to be a great spot on its face, the schematic considerations and game environment make Chase one of the speaker's favorite wide receiver plays on the slate; he is positioned to 'nuke' even outside of the specific cover three considerations, and the speaker expresses conviction in the play relative to ownership.PositiveMatchupSep 27, 2026
Against cover three defenses, Chase has averaged 26 DraftKings points per game over the last three years (10 games where Bengals faced over a third cover three), which is five more points per game than any other wide receiver in that span; his targets per route run rate jumps to 39% against cover three, and he has multiple 40-point games in these spots. The Steelers have played cover three on at least a third of their dropbacks in 15 of their last 19 games, creating an ideal schematic matchup. Additionally, both Bengals and Steelers offenses are top five in pass rate over expectation, suggesting the game environment could be high-scoring if the Steelers' offense clicks.PositiveMatchupSep 27, 2026
Jamar Chase faces Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who has been one of the most cover three heavy DCs in the NFL, playing it on at least a third of his dropbacks in 15 of his last 19 games. Over ten games in the last three years where the Bengals have faced over a third cover three, Chase averages 26 DraftKings points per game with multiple 40-point performances. At 8,100 salary with single-digit ownership, this is described as an awesome spot for Chase in DFS.PositiveValueSep 19, 2026
Jamar Chase is coming in at 16% projected ownership against Houston, which the source found surprising, expecting him to be contrarian on the slate. However, at 7,600 (under 8K), the price point is hard to argue against. The source notes that the big reason for the ownership is the price.PositiveMatchupSep 19, 2026
Chase is relatively cheap and shreds single-high coverages; Houston led the NFL in single-high usage in week one, making this an ideal matchup for Chase's skill set; the source wants exposure to the Bengals stack despite Burrow not being a favorite quarterback play.PositiveValueSep 19, 2026
Chase is going to be like a quarter of the ownership he was pushing for in most contests last week; at low ownership, Chase is enticing alongside Joe Burrow.PositiveProjectionSep 12, 2026
Ja'Marr Chase is the most confident wide receiver play among the high-ownership options, averaging nearly 28 DraftKings points in games with a 50+ over/under. He is a dynamic, slate-breaking talent compared to the more compiler-like profiles of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Chris Olave.
