What happened: Ja'Marr Chase drew another wave of attention Sunday with his individual matchup in Houston approaching. The spotlight lands on one of Week 2's most watched pass-game pieces.

Why it matters: Chase was already a key storyline this week after back tightness shifted more attention onto the passing game around him. His workload and production Sunday will shape how that offense is judged coming out of Week 2.

What to watch: Watch for Chase's target share early Sunday and whether he stays at the center of the game plan in Houston.
