Chase Brown, Chase Brown's Stock Back on the Rise After Surviving Another Offseason

For the third time in his young career, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has to be listed among the dynasty offseason winners after the team added no competition through either free agency or the NFL Draft. A fifth-round pick in 2023, Brown earned the Bengals' RB1 spot by the start of his second season, and after back-to-back top 12 finishes, he is once more in line to handle a bellcow role on one of the league's most potent offenses. Like many of his Bengals teammates, the third-year back struggled in the early stages of 2025, held back by shoddy quarterback play as Joe Burrow missed nine games with a Grade 3 turf toe injury, but by the end of the season, Brown was a legitimate fantasy league-winner. After failing to reach 50 rushing yards through any of his first six games, Brown paced as the RB6 over the final 12 weeks of the season, good enough for an overall RB8 finish. Yet, with the constant perceived threats to his job security, he heads into his age-26 season as RotoBaller's dynasty RB13. While the price to acquire is by no means cheap, especially with his value back on the rise following another quiet Bengals draft, Brown could be the exact piece needed to push contending managers into title contention.

Ja'Marr Chase, Is Ja'Marr Chase the Obvious Dynasty WR1 Entering 2026?

Five years into his NFL career, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is well-established as arguably the best pass-catcher in football. The 26-year-old is coming off another highly productive season in 2025, hauling in 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns on 185 targets across 16 games. While Chase wasn't able to replicate his 1,700-yard, 17-touchdown season from 2024, he still led the NFL in targets and put up monster numbers despite playing nine games with star Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who missed time due to a toe injury. With Burrow fully healthy, Chase has a case to be valued as the WR1 in fantasy for the 2026 season. Even if Burrow suffers another injury, Chase has proven the ability to be an elite producer, particularly in PPR-scoring formats. Coming off back-to-back first-team All-Pro seasons, Chase might currently profile as the highest-floor and highest-ceiling dynasty wide receiver in fantasy football.

Tee Higgins, Is Tee Higgins a Top-24 Dynasty Wide Receiver?

Across 15 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins recorded 59 receptions for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns on 98 targets. Even with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow sidelined for a significant chunk of the season by a toe injury, Higgins proved capable of providing solid production, particularly in the red zone. Injuries remain a red flag in Higgins' fantasy profile, as he's missed 12 games over the past three seasons and battled concussion issues in 2025. Still, Higgins and Burrow are both entering the 2026 season healthy. Even with Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase likely to dominate targets in Cincinnati, Higgins has proven to be a must-start wide receiver when both he and Burrow are on the field. In dynasty formats, managers could have an intriguing sell-high window on Higgins before the start of 2026.

Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow's Dynasty Value Remains Impacted by Injury Concerns

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow battled through yet another injury-marred season in 2025, missing nine games due to a toe injury. Dating back to the start of the 2023 season, Burrow has been sidelined by injury for 16 contests. When healthy in 2025, the 29-year-old remained highly productive, completing 66.8% of his pass attempts for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Throughout Burrow's career, the offensive line play in front of him in Cincinnati has consistently been problematic. The Bengals added a pair of offensive linemen in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting Auburn center Connor Lew in the fourth round and Duke guard Brian Parker II in the sixth round. However, neither player projects as an immediate difference-maker for a line that remains questionable heading into 2026. While Burrow is more than capable of turning in elite fantasy seasons, his dynasty value remains shrouded by his injury track record.

Andrei Iosivas, Andrei Iosivas Facing New Competition for Bengals' WR3 Role After NFL Draft

Across 17 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas recorded 33 receptions for 435 yards and two touchdowns on 58 targets. Over the past two seasons, the 26-year-old has established himself as the clear WR3 in Cincinnati behind star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. When both Chase and Higgins are healthy, Iosivas does not have a clear path to consistent fantasy production. However, Higgins has missed 12 games over the past three seasons, which has periodically opened up opportunities for Iosivas. In the 2026 NFL Draft, Cincinnati used a fourth-round pick on talented Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young. While Young is far from a lock to beat out Iosivas for the Bengals WR3 role, Iosivas could now face yet another impediment to fantasy-relevant target opportunity in Cincinnati. As he heads into his fourth NFL season, Iosivas' dynasty value would likely be improved by a change in scenery.
