He announced after the game that he was returning for his senior season - making him eligible for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Never heard of him. Can’t be that good if he’s returning for his senior season AND he redshirted a year.
Makes a lot of sense for him given the depth of this class and probable slide due to injury. He was a guy I saw slipping in rookie drafts as well for the same reasons.

Can’t we just list significant players, or ones that are perceived as significant, not some player who will be a senior and not even in the top three on his team? I think it clutters the thread with TMI. Thanks.

He has until Friday to make a final decision; however, it appears that he is returning:

Has Najee Harris informed coaches of his intent to return?

Chase is so going to plummet next year without Burrow.
Remember when Justyn Ross was the 1.01 after his breakout? I think the same thing happens with Chase over next season... Chase loses value because his production suffers without Burrow.
I still love Chase, just don't want to pay Devy 1.01 to watch him slide almost for sure when others put up better production.

For Ross it had nothing to do with QB play. I said previously Chase will have some regression without Burrow, but we don’t take players for our fantasy teams for that reason. If you believe in Chase at the next level you don’t let some regression next year sway you.

I think it had a little to do with QB play, but my point was just that reduced production usually equals reduced value.
I believe in him, but I know the devy and dynasty market as well. Fickle, recency biased bunch we all are.

Not me unless injury is in play. I don't want to be one who can't see the forest through the trees.

Is there any thoughts right now on comparing the strengths of the 2020 Draft Class versus the 2021 Draft Class?
QB:
Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, etc. vs. Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, Jacob Eason
I feel like the edge here goes to the 2021 class.
RB & WR:
2020 vs 2021 Rookie NFL Draft Class (Dynasty Fantasy Football)
While the 2020 WR Class is amongst the deepest that we have ever seen, the 2021 WR Class is nothing to sneeze at. I think that I give a slight edge to the 2021 class due to the top 5 being better in my estimation and due to the fact that other 2021 WR prospects could emerge. I fully admit that I could be wrong in this viewpoint because the 2020 WR class is deep and has some quality prospects at the top of the class.
The 2020 RB Class was poised to be exceptionally good; however the decisions of Travis Etienne, Najee Harris, and Chubba Hubbard to return to school for one more year took some of the lustre away from the 2020 class. I give the edge right now to the 2020 RB class.
TE:
Top tight end prospects to watch in the 2021 NFL Draft
The 2021 TE Class is better.
Disclaimer: It is always dangerous to look a year ahead as things can change over the course of the college football season and you can always fall into the “just wait until next year’s draft class” trap.
That behind said, it may pay dividends if you can move a late 1st round 2020 pick for a 2021 pick that ends up being an earlier pick. If you have the opportunity to turn a 2020 second round pick into a 2021 first round pick, that could also pay dividends.

As good as the 2021 class is at TE, I'm starting to think I don't want to use a devy pick on a TE since they take so long to develop, no matter how good they are projected to be, especially if there is only 1 round of a devy draft. I drafted T J Hockenson last year as an example. While I think he will be good, it's a matter of when. I may just look to buy highly ranked TEs cheaper after they bust their first couple of years.
