Ja'Marr Chase dominated 2024, leading targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, setting him up as the cornerstone of Cincinnati's high-volume passing attack. The Bengals rewarded him with a four-year extension while bringing Tee Higgins back and adding Gesicki, preserving a potent trio. In 2025, Chase is projected to be the first player off the board, especially in PPR formats, thanks to a pass-heavy offense that should stay favorable. Expect Chase to command a large share of targets, with a realistic TD regression baked into the ceiling, yet still finishing as fantasy football’s WR1. Higgins remains a reliable second fiddle, and Gesicki adds a versatile red-zone and seam presence that should keep defenses honest. Projections for Chase sit at around 122 receptions, 1,452 yards, and 11 TDs in 2025, with 172 targets and a target-rich environment that should keep him at the center of championship rosters.

The outlook for Cincinnati’s aerial attack remains as attractive as ever, with the trio providing a floor of massive weekly upside. Chase’s yak ability and after-the-catch prowess keep his ceiling sky-high, even if TDs dip modestly. Higgins’ continued involvement stabilizes the offense, while Gesicki’s skill set offers robust upside in varied formations and red-zone packages. This trio anchors a blueprint that fantasy players will build around in drafts and daily fantasy lineups, particularly in the early rounds of 2025 drafts.
