Quick answer
WatchChase caught 2 passes for 12 yards in 2026, finishing WR89. Recent form cooled from WR4 to WR89 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
