Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (back) suited up and was active for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans in Week 10. He had been listed as questionable, and as late as Sunday morning, there was real doubt about his availability as he continued to deal with significant back pain.
However, Chase went through a series of pre-game tests and then decided that he was ready to play. Despite being cleared during the pregame, it was clear that the wideout was believed to be playing with some notable discomfort in his back but was able to perform at the highest level in Sunday's loss.
Will Ja'Marr Chase be healthy for Week 11? What is his Fantasy outlook? Let's dive in.

Ja'Marr Chase Injury Update for Fantasy Football
The Cincinnati Bengals star wideout was questionable heading into Week 10 but managed to feel good enough during pregame warmups to showcase himself against the Houston Texans. Chase excelled in Week 9, where it seemed his back injury was no problem for the wideout.
In Sunday's loss, Chase managed to catch five of his six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown. Without Tee Higgins being available due to his own injury, Chase was able to provide for Higgins as his touchdown was a 64-yard play that came in the third quarter.
Chase's status may be up in the air at the start of the week, as one would imagine the Bengals rest their star wideout in the early portions of the practice week, but if he gets a full practice in before Friday, there should be no reason why Chase wouldn't play in Week 11 at Baltimore.
Ja'Marr Chase Fantasy Football Outlook
Again, Chase will be dealing with back soreness throughout the early portion of the week, but a good sign would be to hear that he will be involved in at least one full participating practice before Sunday's game against the Ravens.
If Chase is a go, he will without a doubt be a must-start player and will once again have top wideout potential in Week 11. Chase currently has 69 catches for 821 yards and five touchdowns this season. All five touchdowns have been scored in the last five weeks. There should be zero concerns if Chase is healthy and in your lineup in Week 11.
