Chase Brown News
Sunday, September 13, 1:13 PM
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed 16 times for 56 yards and a touchdown in the 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown also hauled in five catches for 22 yards on six targets. Brown was tied with tight end Mike Gesicki for the most receptions on the team. Brown was able to pick up the slack for star receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who had an uncharacteristic quiet game. The star back was inefficient on the ground (3.5 YPC), but was able to get home for fantasy based on the volume of opportunities. Brown should be counted on again in next week's contest against the Houston Texans. The Houston defense was one of the most feared units in 2025, but Brown has an elite workload on an elite offense so fantasy managers should have no issues plugging him right back into lineups. Brown should be considered a strong RB1 heading into Week 2 despite the tough matchup that lies ahead.

Malik Nabers News
Monday, September 14, 6:34 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers hauled in six of nine targets for 69 yards in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. After being a game-time decision entering Sunday night, Nabers was active and a key contributor despite a limited snap count in Week 1. He played just 36 of 69 snaps (52%) and slipped a few times on routes and after the catch. However, quarterback Jaxson Dart looked great in Week 1 and appears to be the best quarterback Nabers has had in his NFL career so far. With his snap share set to increase in the coming weeks and him being more comfortable following the injury, Nabers will be an elite option at the wide receiver position this season. They travel to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, where Nabers should be temporarily factored in as a mid-tier WR2 until he has his full complement of snaps.
