Ja'Marr Chase Odds and Props for Week 15: Chase Shines in Pivotal Showdown

Joe Burrow’s wrist injury seemed like the end of the road for Cincinnati Bengals player props this year, but some dynamic offensive performances in December have put Ja’Marr Chase & Co. back on the NFL props radar.

With Jake Browning growing into the starting role and the Cincinnati playmakers stepping up, the Bengals enter Saturday’s matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in the thick of the AFC playoff picture, even if the latest NFL odds still view them as a longer shot.

Whether or not they reach the postseason may come down to what Chase does over the next four games. While the hosts have scored 34 points in back-to-back games in part because of a well-balanced passing game, he’s the man who can take this offense to another level.

In our latest NFL picks, we'll take a closer look at the star wideout's player props ahead of Saturday's Week 15 odds clash.

Ja'Marr Chase Week 15 prop pick

Over 64.5 receiving yards (-115)

LSU bragging rights are on the line on Saturday, with Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson set to square off in a battle of the league’s most explosive pass-catchers — and the Cincinnati Bengals superstar has upped the stakes by declaring himself the NFL’s No.1 receiver.

Now he’s got to deliver.

Chase will be looking to bounce back from a quiet afternoon against the Colts last weekend where he had three catches for 29 yards, and I expect him to give the Minnesota Vikings defense fits.

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for Chase props since Jake Browning took over under center. He’s had a couple of dud outings, but he was also electric in Week 13, with 11 receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars.

While Chase may not hit those heights again here, I’m counting on him to get targets early and often in a game that’s crucial for Cincinnati’s playoff hopes. If we’re looking at a boom-or-bust scenario with Chase, I’m taking an optimistic view this weekend.

Sure, the Vikings haven’t allowed more than 21 points in any of their last four games, but this Cincinnati offense can mix it up and boast enough playmakers that Minnesota can’t solely focus on stopping Chase.

Chase has already shrugged off the idea of being hampered by the ankle injury he picked up against Indianapolis, so I’m also not expecting any limitations on his snaps.

Don't hesitate to grab these odds for the Over on the star wideout's receiving yards.

I’m already on the Chase bandwagon, so why not throw in the anytime touchdown prop too? He’s found the end zone seven times this year and served up a 76-yard score in Week 13 against Jacksonville.

Chase is always a big-play threat, and I expect the Bengals to challenge a Vikings secondary that’s short on star power at cornerback, despite solid defensive outings over the past month.

He’s going to get his chances in the red zone too. Chase leads Cincinnati with 20 targets inside the 20-yard line, and he’s turned those into 12 catches this season, including four touchdowns.

The Bengals are only 4-3 at home this year — perhaps part of why Zac Taylor urged the Cincinnati fans to get loud and be a factor on Saturday — and they’ll need to cash in on their remaining games at Paycor Stadium.

However, there was a lot to like about how they took care of business against the Colts on home turf in Week 14, and I’m putting faith in Browning to outshine Minnesota’s Nick Mullens in the quarterback battle.

Keep in mind that we’re only a week on from the Vikings scoring just three points against the Raiders. It’s a big ask to take Mullens on the road here against a Bengals defense that had a pick and a fumble recovery while holding Indy to 14 points on Sunday.

I like the hosts to deliver another strong outing and cover this small, adjusted spread.
