I think he has potential, BUT, he has not shown much in between the 20's.  His big plays last season were in the red zone on extended plays much like Sunday.  

I dont care where they line him up, he needs to produce during drives, not just in goal line.

I actually prefer Chase in the slot with Tee wide one side with Yoshi & Burton splitting time on the other side, until Burton is ready to take over.

I just don’t see Iosivas being the guy that is willing to go over the middle time and time again knowing you’re going to have to make tough contested catches. When you think of bengals great slot receiver seasons (TJ, Boyd)… I just don’t see that coming from Iosivas. I will happily be wrong here, but I just don’t see the skill set that translates to NFL success here.

Chase in the slot is dangerous, but it does take a little pressure off the defense from going over the top.

Burton has got to be close. He is so clearly better than everyone not named Chase/higgins.
