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.

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.

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.

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.
Oct 6, 2024 11:01 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was quiet through the first three contests of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he finally got it together in the Week 4 win over the Panthers, amassing 80 yards off 15 carries and adding two touchdowns. Naturally, expectations are higher than usual for Brown entering the AFC North clash with the Baltimore Ravens. Still, Zack Moss remains atop the depth chart, and he'll likely continue to see more snaps and rushing opportunities. With that in mind, Brown is still in the flex conversation, although he's a risky option.
Oct 5, 2024 1:00 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 15 carries for a team-high 80 yards in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. He added two grabs for 12 yards. Brown wasn't relevant for fantasy managers throughout the first three weeks of the year. However, the 24-year-old had a big outing in Week 4, which also included two trips to the end zone. Zack Moss was still involved (and productive), so it remains to be seen if Brown will get opportunities to produce in Week 5 versus the Ravens. With that in mind, he deserves flex consideration for that one based on his performance on Sunday, although his presence in fantasy lineups is still risky.
Sep 29, 2024 7:51 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had plenty of hype entering the 2024-25 campaign. Most assumed he would split time out of the backfield with Zack Moss. However, that hasn't happened, with Moss logging considerably more snaps through the first three games of the 2024-25 campaign. Although Brown will likely get some touches for the Week 4 matchup with the Carolina Panthers, he hasn't done enough to earn a place in most fantasy lineups.
Sep 28, 2024 11:15 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed seven times for 62 yards to lead the team in rushing in a loss to Washington on Monday night. Brown was out-carried 12-7 by starter Zack Moss but was the more efficient runner on Monday night. Moss got the 1-yard TD at the end of the game and was more effective in the receiving game. Brown did catch two passes for seven yards on three targets. The 8.9 yards per carry is a positive sign for the second-year back as he looks to establish more of a role for himself. The Bengals are going to use both Moss and Brown so Brown's production figures to fluctuate game-to-game. Brown is a great handcuff and has some standalone value but he is not yet a fantasy starter in most weeks.
Sep 24, 2024 9:24 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had a rough showing in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. After an uneventful performance in Week 1 versus the Patriots, Brown finished Week 2 with just four carries for 31 yards. He also was held without a catch. Zack Moss was still the top rusher out of the backfield, with the 26-year-old going for 34 yards off 12 touches. While Moss may find himself in the doghouse at some point if he doesn't turn things around, Brown will need to prove his value to managers before working his way back into fantasy lineups. Keep him on the bench in Week 3 versus the Commanders.
