Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had only 43 yards off 21 carries in the Week 1 win over Cleveland. His 2.0 yards per carry was a tough pill to swallow for fantasy managers. Still, he at least found the end zone, so the afternoon wasn't a total flop. The same can't be said for the rest of the Bengals offense, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards and one touchdown. To make matters worse, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins combined for five receptions. Despite the subpar offensive showing, Cincinnati managed to pull off a narrow one-point victory. With a win in the books, Brown and company will host the Jaguars in Week 2. Without question, the Bengals have struggled to begin the season in the last few years. However, Brown and company have a great chance of turning things around. Although he sometimes struggles picking up yards on the ground, his versatility as a pass-catching back makes a difference. Sunday's game is expected to be one of the highest-scoring contests on the schedule, so both offenses may be clicking on all cylinders. All things considered, Brown should be more productive in Week 2, especially if Burrow can get the offense into the Red Zone more than he did against Cleveland. Keep Brown rolling in all fantasy lineups.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a lackluster Week 1, but his fantasy outlook improves considerably heading into a favorable Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. As the RB39 in Week 1, Tracy managed only 4.5 fantasy points with 24 rushing yards and 11 receiving yards, but he dominated the backfield with a 66.2% timeshare. This heavy workload, combined with the Cowboys' defensive struggles against the run, makes him an intriguing play. Dallas allowed a whopping 158 rushing yards in Week 1, the fifth-most in the NFL, and was the 23rd-ranked fantasy defense against running backs last season, giving up 22.67 fantasy points per game. Given the potential for a high-volume day, Tracy has a chance to deliver RB2 numbers.
