Link to story Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase Holding Himself To A Higher Standard In 2025 Tue May 6, 04:03 PM
WR Ja'Marr Chase's long push for a new contract ended in March when he signed a four-year extension with the Bengals, making him the league's highest-paid non-quarterback. Chase said that he has "a lot" of goals left, including the championships that have eluded him to this point in his career. In addition to that team success, Chase said he has eyes on getting "better at everything I can do," which means he has to raise the bar even higher than it was already set. "There are expectations; the standard is high," Chase said via the team's website. "Just have fun and play my game, but also know I'm holding myself to a higher standard now. Higher than whatever it was."
| Footballguys view: Chase set the stage for that pact by putting up 127 catches for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns during the 2024 season and putting a bow on one of the most prolific four-year starts to a career in NFL history. The Bengals will need more than Chase to reach the kind of collective success that the wideout has in mind, but even bigger things from him in 2025 won't hurt their chances of making it back to the postseason. And that will sit well with fantasy investors, who have already made him the 1.01 in early best-ball drafts on Underdog. |

Bengals | Smaller Workload for Perine Than Before? Thu May 1, 03:18 PM
Paul Dehner Jr, from The Athletic, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine could play a reduced role compared to what he did in his prior stint with the team.
| Footballguys view: This is now Perine's third time with the Bengals, with the latest being from 2020-2022. After a couple of seasons with the Broncos and Chiefs, Perine is back to serve as a backup option behind starter Chase Brown. If he's playing a smaller role than previously, Perine could catch 25-30 passes this year with the Bengals when Brown needs a breather. |
