Chase began his NFL career relatively slowly, only averaging two catches per game for the first three weeks, scoring only one touchdown, but then facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles on October 11th. With an early touchdown, he started off the game on a positive note, giving him confidence for the rest of the game. Then he went on to score two more touchdowns to end the game. He then went on to score two more touchdowns ending the game with three touchdowns, seven receptions, and 110 yards. For fantasy football players, this was a huge wake up because in that week, he scored an enormous 42.6 points. Chase has had an amazing rookie season, and hopefully he can keep up with his fast incline of work that he has proven day in and day out.
