The Cincinnati Bengals invested heavily in their passing game when they drafted Joe Burrow first overall last year. they went back to the well to add a premium wide receiver for Burrow a year later, in fact, drafting his start playmaker in college, selecting Ja’Marr Chase with the fifth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Chase did not play a lot in his first preseason game, making only one catch. He got more expansive playing time this past week…and he did not make the most of it. He dropped three passes during the game, which accounted for all of his targets, going without a single catch, which is, of course, what no Bengals fan wants to see.
