Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown delivered another great performance in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Miami Dolphins, handling 12 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches (four targets) for 43 yards and two more scores as a receiver. It marked the 25-year-old's first career three-touchdown game and fifth career game with multiple scores. Brown has been on a tear in the second half of the season, ranking as the RB5 in PPR points per game (20.5) after ranking as the RB33 (10.1) in Weeks 1-7. Brown will maintain his high-end RB1 status for Week 17's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown struggled on the ground in the last three games. However, he at least made up for it by catching 17 passes during that span. Without question, fantasy managers were expecting more from the 25-year-old after a quality 2024 campaign. Still, the upside is there, as evident by his two-touchdown effort in the Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Bengals have already been eliminated from postseason contention. While that could result in Brown and some of the other starters shutting it down before the end of the regular season, he should handle his usual workload versus Miami in Week 16, keeping him in the must-start conversation. That applies even more for PPR participants if Tee Higgins (concussion) can't suit up, considering Brown will presumably remain in line for additional pass-catching opportunities.
Dec 20, 2025 12:29 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown wasn't as efficient as a runner in Week 14's loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he made up for it with the fourth multi-touchdown game of his career. Brown has been on a heater over the past few weeks after a slow start to the season. Since Week 8, the 25-year-old running back has totaled 87 carries for 417 yards and two touchdowns while adding 29 receptions (40 targets) for 205 yards and two more touchdowns as a receiver, ranking as the RB6 with 19.2 PPR points per game over that time. Brown has been a high-variance running back this season, posting five games with at least five yards per carry and four games with less than three yards per carry in games where he recorded at least 10 rush attempts. He remains a high-end option in the Bengals' potent offense for Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Dec 13, 2025 7:39 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has played better in the final stretch of the 2025 campaign. He was much improved as a runner leading up to the Week 14 loss to the Bills, amassing at least 5.2 yards per carry in five of his previous six appearances. Although the 25-year-old struggled on the ground in snowy Buffalo, he made up for it by finding the end zone twice. Brown has been back in the must-start conversation for weeks, which will continue to apply to Sunday's meeting with the Baltimore Ravens. With Tee Higgins (concussion) out, Brown could see even more attention on the receiving end, increasing his fantasy ceiling. He caught all seven of his targets for 35 yards when these clubs met in Week 13, a game in which Higgins also wasn't available.
Dec 13, 2025 12:43 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown handled 12 carries for just 23 yards while adding three receptions (four targets) for 12 yards and another touchdown as a receiver in Sunday's loss in snowy Buffalo. Brown continues his stretch of strong production for fantasy managers, averaging 19.2 PPR points per game over his last six outings. The 25-year-old running back surprisingly had his lowest yards-per-carry mark in a game this season against a Bills defense that allowed 5.2 yards a pop entering the game, the second-worst mark in the league. It comes after three straight games in which the speedy back averaged over five yards per tote. But Brown made up for his lack of efficiency by posting his second two-touchdown game of the season. He will remain a high-end fantasy option in Week 15's divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
Dec 8, 2025 12:59 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is coming off a strong showing, finishing with 15 attempts for 78 yards in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. With Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined for that one, Brown was more involved on the receiving end, catching all seven targets for 35 yards. Samaje Perine was more included than usual on the offensive end, amassing 39 yards off 14 carries. However, he averaged an ugly 2.8 yards per carry. Higgins' return for Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills could mean Brown won't see as many receiving opportunities, although that still may not matter, considering he is usually involved as a pass-catcher. With that said, Perine's uptick in work in Week 13 isn't a reason to panic. Fantasy managers should keep Brown rolling in any format, with a slight bump for those starting him in PPR setups.
Dec 6, 2025 4:12 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (calf) got off to a slow start to the 2025 season, averaging just 50.6 scrimmage yards per game over his first six contests. However, the 25-year-old has taken off ever since Week 7, topping 100 scrimmage yards in each of his last six games. Over the last three weeks in particular, Brown is averaging 22.3 touches and 123.3 scrimmage yards per game. Finding the end zone remains a struggle for Brown, as he's scored just two touchdowns on the season. With Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow back in the fold and Cincinnati's offense as a whole trending upward, Brown should have more red zone chances in the coming weeks. It's worth noting that Brown is listed on the Bengals' injury report with a calf injury heading into the team's Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, but he's been a full practice participant and appears likely to play. As long as Brown is on the field, he profiles as a must-start fantasy running back.
Dec 5, 2025 10:32 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown looked good in the Thanksgiving win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 25-year-old didn't find the end zone, although he still got it done for fantasy managers by finishing with 78 yards off 15 carries (5.2 YPC) while catching all seven of his targets for 35 yards. The Bengals were fortunate to get Joe Burrow (toe) back from a lengthy stint on the Injured Reserve list. Unfortunately, Tee Higgins (concussion) didn't suit up after taking a hit in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. The Bengals have a few extra days to recover before the Week 14 meeting with the Bills in Buffalo. While Brown is back to being considered a must-start fantasy option, his ceiling will be higher if Higgins remains sidelined.
Nov 28, 2025 2:53 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown surpassed the 100-yard mark for the second time this season in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. Although he didn't find the end zone, fantasy managers were still mostly satisfied with the result. With a productive showing in the rear-view mirror, Brown and company will look to pick up a much-needed win over the Ravens in Week 13. Fortunately, Joe Burrow (toe) will be back after being sidelined since the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ja'Marr Chase will also return after serving a one-game suspension. However, the Bengals will be without Tee Higgins (concussion), so there will be extra targets up for grabs. Naturally, Burrow should look in Chase's direction often. Andrei Iosivas could also be in line for more attention. Still, Brown might see even more pass-catching chances than usual, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers on Thanksgiving.
Nov 26, 2025 11:56 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had a slow start to the 2025 campaign. He has only three touchdowns on the year, which still certainly doesn't sit well with fantasy managers. However, there are those who are optimistic, considering Brown's uptick from a statistical standpoint over the last month. The 25-year-old had his first 100-yard rushing game in almost a year when the Bengals played the Steelers in Week 7. He missed that mark by one yard during Sunday's rematch. Browns' improvement as a runner is a step in the right direction, and his added contributions as a pass-catcher of late (14 catches in the last two games) have helped his overall production. All things considered, Brown is making the moves needed to re-establish his reputation for fantasy managers. Granted, he still has some work to do, but he is still worthy of a start in nearly all formats imaginable in Week 12 versus the New England Patriots. The suspension of Ja'Marr Chase could give him more pass-catching opportunities out of the backfield, increasing his ceiling in PPR setups.
Nov 22, 2025 1:00 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown hasn't played as well as expected. He began the 2025 campaign by finding the end zone in Week 1 against the Browns. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old didn't score again until the narrow one-point loss to the New York Jets back in Week 8. It's safe to say he has a way to go before earning back the trust of fantasy managers, especially since he's struggled to get much going on the ground. However, Brown has at least made up for it by scoring two touchdowns against the Jets and totaling eight catches in the Week 9 meeting with the Chicago Bears. He's trending in the right direction and should see even more snaps with Samaje Perine (ankle) ruled out. As a result, Brown can continue to be viewed as a starting fantasy option in Week 11 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Nov 15, 2025 12:25 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is looking to build off a strong performance he had as a receiver in Week 9. Brown hauled in eight of his 14 targets for 75 yards during their loss to the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old struggled with only 37 yards on the ground, but the eight receptions helped save his fantasy value. The Bengals had a bye week this past weekend, but head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Brown rushed for over 100 yards during their last matchup in Week 7. The Bengals are going to be without Samaje Perine (ankle) for a few weeks. That being said, Brown figures to see almost all the work in the backfield. He played 96 percent of the offensive snaps during the loss to the Bears. Brown should be a focal point in this offense going forward.
Nov 11, 2025 7:38 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown scored a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately, he had more than a few miserable outings in his following appearances before finally surpassing the 100-yard rushing mark in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 25-year-old then had his best performance of the 2025 campaign in the Week 8 one-point loss to the New York Jets, finding the end zone twice (one rushing, one receiving). Joe Flacco (shoulder) has the offense back on track. While there's a chance Flacco won't suit up in the Week 9 clash with the Chicago Bears, it appears he's (fortunately) trending toward playing. However, even if Jake Browning finds himself back atop the depth chart, Brown should remain a high-upside option for managers, especially with the game between the Bears and Bengals projected to be one of the highest-scoring contests on the schedule. Granted, Brown's presence in all fantasy lineups isn't without risk. That will apply regardless of who is starting at quarterback.
Nov 1, 2025 12:23 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown hasn't had the year most had anticipated heading into the 2025 campaign. He scored a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old hasn't visited the end zone since. However, Brown at least displayed signs of life in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7, finishing with 11 carries for 108 yards, marking his first game in nearly a year with over 100 yards on the ground. Rightfully so, fantasy participants remain skeptical. Still, Brown was selected early in fantasy drafts leading up to the season, so will managers feel comfortable keeping him on the bench? Some will continue to take that approach, and that's understandable. On the other hand, injuries have been a common issue for teams around the National Football League, meaning others may not have anywhere else to turn. All things considered, Brown has one of the highest ceilings at the running back position. Despite some imposing run-stoppers for the Jets, specifically Quinnen Williams and Brandon Stephens, Brown's pass-catching acumen gives him more than enough upside to warrant starting consideration in all fantasy setups.
Oct 25, 2025 11:48 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 11 carries for 108 yards and added two catches for -8 yards on Thursday night against the Steelers. It was the most productive game of the season for Brown as he went over 100 rushing yards for the first time since Week 9 of last season. Coming into the game, he had just 304 total yards from scrimmage and one touchdown in six games. But he was able to find plenty of running room against a Pittsburgh defense that had been tough against opposing running backs. His snap share also rebounded to 63.2% in this one after being closer to 50% in the previous two games. Hopefully, this signals better days ahead for Brown as the Cincinnati offense is trending in the right direction with Joe Flacco under center.
Oct 17, 2025 9:26 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has been a major disappointment in the 2025 season. After a breakout campaign in 2024, Brown has managed just 304 scrimmage yards and one touchdown through six games. The third year back is averaging only 2.7 yards per carry, with just 1.2 yards before contact (last among qualified RBs) and 1.5 yards after contact (fourth worst). The injury to quarterback Joe Burrow has severely limited the Bengals' offense, and Brown has struggled to find any rhythm on the ground. His Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers won't make things any easier, as they have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Unless Brown sees a spike in receiving volume, it's hard to justify starting him in any fantasy format this week. Consider Brown a desperate flex option at best in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2025 10:20 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown hasn't played well this season. After scoring a touchdown in the Bengals' Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns, the 25-year-old hasn't visited the end zone since then. He only had eight carries for 27 yards in Week 5 versus the Lions. Fortunately, Brown made up for it by catching seven of his eight targets for 21 yards. Cincinnati won the first two games of the 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, the Bengals have lost their last three contests, so the team is desperately looking for a win in Week 6 against Green Bay. Joe Flacco, who was recently acquired in a trade with the Browns, will get the start under center for that one. However, Flacco's knowledge of the playbook will presumably be limited, meaning Brown may see more touches than normal while potentially getting an uptick in short passes out of the backfield. With that said, the Packers defense has been a challenge for opposing offenses throughout the year, which isn't good news for Brown, Flacco, Ja'Marr Chase (illness), and Tee Higgins. Still, the 2023 No. 163 overall pick remains worthy of a start in all fantasy formats based on his upside alone, especially for managers with limited options at the running back position.
Oct 11, 2025 11:34 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has been one of fantasy football's biggest disappointments to start the 2025 season. Through four weeks, Brown has 57 carries for just 133 yards and one touchdown, along with 11 catches for 74 yards, ranking as the RB35 in half-PPR formats on a per-game basis. He's struggled badly behind Cincinnati's offensive line, sitting dead last in the league in both yards per carry (2.3) and yards before contact (1.0). Week 5 doesn't offer much relief, as the Bengals face the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. Detroit's run defense has been one of the best in football over the past two seasons, making running lanes nearly nonexistent. Given the tough matchup and Brown's inefficiency, he should be considered no more than a low-end FLEX option in Week 5 lineups.
Oct 4, 2025 1:26 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is coming off a quality year. Unfortunately, that success didn't follow him into the 2025 campaign. Through the first three weeks, the 25-year-old has 47 attempts. However, he's only amassed 93 yards for a miserable 2.0 yards per carry. With that said, Brown can't necessarily take all of the blame for his inefficiency, considering the entire offense has struggled. That was even the case when Joe Burrow (toe) was on the field. The Bengals suffered a blowout loss to the Vikings in Week 3 after starting the season with a 2-0 record, so the club will look to get on track versus the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Without question, Brown has plenty of upside for managers in any format. Still, until things on the offensive side of the ball are sorted out, Brown's presence in fantasy lineups in Week 4 (and beyond) is not without risk.
Sep 27, 2025 12:35 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown hasn't had the best start to the season. While the 25-year-old found the end zone in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns, he has only 90 yards off 37 attempts for a subpar 2.4 yards per carry in the first two games. He isn't always the strongest runner. However, Brown has normally made up for it by catching passes out of the backfield. Unfortunately, he's struggled in that area as well by amassing just four receptions (six targets) for 26 yards. The Bengals are 2-0 through the first two weeks of the season, although Cincinnati will be tested moving forward without Joe Burrow (toe) under center for the foreseeable future. With Jake Browning now atop the depth chart, many are wondering how his presence will impact Brown and the rest of the Bengals offense. With that said, the 2023 No. 163 overall pick was taken in the second or third rounds in fantasy drafts heading into the 2025 campaign. For that reason alone, there's not really a scenario where managers can afford to keep him benched in Week 3 versus the Minnesota Vikings.
