Despite the drama around the wide receiver position, the Cincinnati Bengals appear to be in a good spot when they kick off the regular season against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
It doesn't take long to see that the Bengals are routinely one of the week's most-picked teams, boast the best odds and are a favorite in keeper leagues.
But that drama just makes the big headlines, as it should. At least as of this writing, the team and Ja'Marr Chase haven't agreed on an extension, so while the team still hopes that he'll suit up, he's said he would be limited even if he does.
