The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL, thanks to quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. These three players are among the top fantasy options at their respective positions, and they should be a key part of your dynasty roster for the foreseeable future.
Joe Burrow: The Elite Quarterback
Joe Burrow has quickly become one of the top fantasy quarterbacks in the league, and with his passing accuracy and ability to lead a high-powered offense, continues to be a top fantasy option.
2024 Fantasy Production: Burrow finished the 2024 season with over 4,900 passing yards and 43 touchdowns. His ability to spread the ball around to Chase and Higgins makes him a top-tier fantasy QB and a key player to have in any dynasty league. Additionally, he was able to stay completely healthy in 2024, ensuring his status as a top-5 fantasy QB.
Dynasty Value: At 28 years old, Burrow is firmly in his prime and should continue to be a top fantasy quarterback for the long term. He’s a great cornerstone player to build your dynasty team around, and is on track to have another excellent campaign heading into 2025. He should remain a top-5 option at the position in all fantasy leagues.
Ja'Marr Chase: The Fantasy Superstar
Ja'Marr Chase is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and his elite playmaking ability has made him a fantasy superstar. His deep-ball ability and connection with Burrow make him a weekly WR1.
2024 Fantasy Production: Chase finished the 2024 season with the NFL's "Triple Crown", catching 127 of 175 targets for 1,700+ receiving yards and 17 touchdowns over a full 17-game season. His ability to break long plays and score touchdowns consistently makes him one of the most reliable and explosive fantasy receivers in the league, and he continues to be Mr. consistent when it comes to fantasy production. He's a set-it-and-forget-it bonafide stud at the WR position, in the same tier as Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb.
Dynasty Value: At just 24 and having recently signed a record-setting four-year $161 million contract extension with $112 million guaranteed (the largest non-QB contract in NFL history), Chase is a must-have player in dynasty leagues. His combination of youth, skill, and opportunity makes him one of the most valuable wide receivers for both now & the long-term future.
Tee Higgins: The Reliable WR2
Tee Higgins may play second fiddle to Ja'Marr Chase, but he’s still a top fantasy option in his own right. His ability to produce big numbers as Burrow’s second option makes him a high-end WR2 with upside.
2024 Fantasy Production: Higgins posted 900+ yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, providing solid WR2 numbers, and setting career highs in PPR scoring average, TDs, catches per game, & targets per game. While he has yet to remain healthy for a full season, his role in the Bengals' high-powered offense gives him consistent value in both redraft and dynasty formats.
Dynasty Value: At 26 and now signed to the second biggest non-QB contract in NFL history behind teammate Chase (4 years, $115 million), Higgins is still in the prime of his career. While he does take some targets away from Chase when on the field, it's clear the Bengals offense can easily support both WRs. To that end, he offers a great combination of upside and consistency, making him an ideal WR2 for dynasty leagues.
The Cincinnati Bengals are a powerhouse offense, and players like Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins should be key components of your dynasty roster. Whether you’re targeting an elite quarterback, a top wide receiver, or a reliable WR2, these three players provide exceptional value for both the short and long term.
