Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed for 58 yards on 14 carries during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. More importantly, he caught six of eight targets for an additional 65 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The 24-year-old has been quite special since taking over as the Bengals' No. 1 running back, ranking as the overall RB7 in half-PPR leagues despite enduring a bye week. Brown's productivity and overall heavy volume make him a mid-range fantasy RB1 option despite next week's matchup against a strong Tennessee Titans run defense.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has played well this season. In 12 games, the 24-year-old has 677 yards and six touchdowns off 152 carries. He also has 38 catches for 237 yards and two more scores. With production like that, he belongs in every fantasy lineup going. But Brown could be even more productive versus Dallas on Monday night, with the Cowboys allowing 14 rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs during the 2024-25 campaign, the second-worst total in the National Football League.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 70 yards and a touchdown off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He also caught all three targets for 30 yards. The 24-year-old had another quality fantasy performance against a tough Steelers defense. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough to lead the Bengals to a much-needed win. With at least one trip to the end zone in seven of his last nine appearances, Brown has a chance to keep it going versus a Cowboys defense that has allowed 14 rushing touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, the worst in the National Football League.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has had a Pro Bowl-caliber season. He routinely ceded touches to Zack Moss in the beginning of the year. However, with Moss on the shelf for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, Brown is now the undisputed top option out of the backfield. With seven touchdowns in Cincinnati's 11 games this season, the 24-year-old needs to be in all fantasy lineups despite a challenging matchup with a potent Steelers' defense on tap.

Coming out of their Week 12 bye, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the team is looking for a way to manage running back Chris Brown's workload in the backfield. "We've gotta find ways to manage it. I think circumstances has led to what he's gotten the last two weeks. I'd like for Chase to touch the ball as much as possible he's got the potential to be explosive on every single play. At the same time, you do need another back in there to help manage that workload. We'll try to get other guys mixed in there to give him a little bit more of a break," Taylor said. Zack Moss (neck) is out for the year, which has led to Brown seeing almost all of the backfield touches in recent weeks as trade acquisition Khalil Herbert learns the offense. Brown has had 20-plus touches in two of the last three games. While he could see more help moving forward, he'll remain a must-start for fantasy managers.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed for 86 yards on 22 carries during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught five of his seven targets for an additional 57 receiving yards. Brown has been tasked with handling a larger workload amidst Zack Moss' season-ending neck injury, and the second-year running back hasn't missed a beat. He now has three consecutive games with at least 19 fantasy points (PPR) and should be deployed as a low-end fantasy RB1 when he's back in action on the other side of the Bengals' Week 12 bye.
Nov 18, 2024 12:10 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has emerged as one of the best fantasy options at the position. He got off to a slow start this season. However, since the Week 4 win over the Carolina Panthers, the 24-year-old has totaled seven touchdowns. He's also coming off a potent Week 10 performance versus the Ravens, finishing the night by amassing a career-high nine receptions. With Tee Higgins (quadriceps) cleared to return on Sunday night versus the Chargers, Brown will likely see fewer looks from Joe Burrow. Still, Brown's potential can't be ignored, especially with Zack Moss (neck) done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.
Nov 16, 2024 1:28 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 42 yards and a touchdown off 14 carries in Thursday's one-point loss to Baltimore. He added nine catches for 52 yards. The 24-year-old has been solid of late. Although Brown played better in the Week 9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, he still picked up his seventh touchdown in his last seven appearances. With a tough Chargers defense on the horizon for Week 11, Brown remains a viable fantasy option, even more so with Zack Moss (neck) done for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign.
Nov 8, 2024 12:18 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had a stellar showing in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He ran the ball 27 times, amassing 120 yards and adding 31 yards off five catches, one of which resulted in a touchdown. With Zack Moss (neck) done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, Brown should see more action moving forward. Keep him starting in Week 10 versus an unreliable Ravens defense.
Nov 6, 2024 9:26 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (rib) suffered a bruised rib in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but it sounds like he'll be OK for the Thursday night game in Week 10 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, Zack Moss (neck) is out indefinitely with a neck injury, which will open up a bigger backup role for Trayveon Williams behind Brown moving forward. Brown has been trending up in fantasy in recent weeks and went off for a season-high 27 carries for a season-high 120 rushing yards while catching a season-high five passes for a season-high 37 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win over the Raiders in an excellent matchup on Sunday. He'll be a must-start on Thursday versus Baltimore. In Week 5 against the Ravens, Brown had 12 carries for 46 yards and caught all three of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown.
Nov 4, 2024 7:50 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 120 yards off 27 carries in Sunday's win over the Raiders. He added five catches for 57 yards and a touchdown, finding the end zone off a one-yard pass from Joe Burrow in the first quarter. With Zack Moss (neck) inactive for this one, Brown had one of the best performances of his career. It's clear he's now the top option on the depth chart, so he's a must-start on Thursday night against the Ravens, regardless if Moss is back in the mix.
Nov 3, 2024 8:54 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has taken over as the undisputed option out of the backfield. Granted, Zack Moss (neck) has remained involved. However, with Moss doubtful for the Week 9 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, that should mean even more work for Brown. The 24-year-old has found the end zone at least once in four of the Bengals' previous five contests. Although he has averaged only 4.6 yards per carry, he's made up for it (to a degree) by getting some targets from Joe Burrow. His chances of seeing more attention from Burrow will increase if Moss and Tee Higgins (quadriceps) are ruled out. But even if those players are miraculously on the field versus Vegas, Brown should continue to be considered a starting fantasy option.
Nov 2, 2024 12:20 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 32 yards off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added two catches for two yards. While Brown had trouble getting anything going on the ground, he at least found the end zone in Week 8, scoring off a four-yard run in the third quarter. Even more encouraging for Brown's fantasy managers, Zack Moss would finish this one with only five attempts. The 24-year-old has now had at least one touchdown in five of the Bengals' last six outings, keeping him a starting fantasy option in Week 9 versus the visiting Las Vegas Raiders.
Oct 27, 2024 4:56 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown now sits atop the depth chart. While Zack Moss remains involved, he had only six carries for seven yards in Week 7 versus the Browns. On the other hand, Brown logged 15 touches for 44 yards to end the day. Although Moss has the edge in red zone opportunities so far this season, Brown is by far a safer fantasy option for Week 8 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. With that in mind, the Eagles have been solid against opposing running backs throughout the 2024-25 campaign, so the 24-year-old is hard to trust in any fantasy format.
Oct 25, 2024 9:32 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chase Brown ran for 44 yards off 15 carries in the win over the Browns on Sunday. He added two catches for nine yards. The 24-year-old scored in each of his last three appearances. While he cooled off in this one, he still outperformed Zack Moss, who didn't have a quality afternoon. It appears Brown will continue to lead the backfield, keeping him a starting fantasy option for Week 8 against the Eagles.
Oct 20, 2024 9:56 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign. However, the 24-year-old has turned up the volume of late, finding the end zone at least once in each of his last three games. He also logged more snaps than Zack Moss for the first time this season in the Week 6 win over the New York Giants. Granted, Moss was likely more banged up than Brown entering that contest, which could explain the shift in opportunities out of the backfield. Still, even if Moss gets more touches in Week 7 against Cleveland, Brown is still a flex option, at the very least.
Oct 18, 2024 10:52 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 53 yards and a touchdown off 10 carries in Sunday night's win over the New York Giants. He added two catches for 11 yards. This was a low-scoring contest, with the Bengals defense holding the Giants to seven points. However, Brown still did enough to give his fantasy managers a little something. With the 24-year-old finding the end zone in each of the Bengals' last three games, he's a must-start in any format for the Week 7 divisional clash with the Browns.
Oct 14, 2024 10:57 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (quadriceps) is officially active for Sunday Night Football versus the Giants. He's been on a roll of late, amassing three touchdowns in the last two contests. But there was some concern regarding his availability once he appeared on the injury report and was listed as questionable. While Zack Moss (ankle) will also be in the equation, both players have been involved to remain relevant for fantasy managers, making them flex options (at the very least) in Week 6.
Oct 13, 2024 7:14 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the New York Giants. Brown appeared on the injury report on Thursday after logging a limited practice session and remained in the same capacity on Friday. Earlier on Friday, head coach Zac Taylor said that Brown is expected to play. Fantasy managers should monitor his status over the weekend in case he faces a set back. Brown has seen double-digit carries in consecutive games and remains a high-upside flex option this weekend facing the New York Giants.
Oct 11, 2024 4:40 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown finished Sunday's overtime loss to the Ravens by compiling 46 yards off 12 carries. He added three catches for eight yards and a touchdown, finding the end zone off a four-yard pass from Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter. Zack Moss suffered an ankle injury in this one, so Brown was the featured backfield option. There's a chance Moss will miss the Week 6 matchup with the New York Giants. If that happens, Brown would be a lock for all fantasy lineups.
