24-Year-Old Running BackRB
Cincinnati Bengals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Bengals appear to favor Zack Moss as their starting running back after signing him to a two-year, $8 million contract in free agency, though the pay isn't prohibitively high if Brown looks like the better player this summer. The Bengals might more so need a rotation between the two, for the sake of both players. Moss has struggled to stay healthy dating back to college and does no good for Cincinnati if he's injured, with history suggesting he'll get banged up if tasked with large workloads each week. Brown can at least provide relief, and there's a chance the former Illinois standout and 2023 fifth-round pick eventually takes the starting role in Cincinnati. He's a capable runner and receiver both, and he's actually heavier than Moss if the most recent height/weight listing are to be believed (215 pounds to 205). Brown is also younger and much faster than Moss (4.43-second 40 vs. 4.65 seconds), giving the second-year pro a real chance to play a lot of snaps in what should be a quality Bengals offense.

Draws even split in backfield

September 29, 2024
Brown rushed the ball 15 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers. He added two receptions on three targets for 12 yards.
ANALYSIS
After showcasing strong efficiency on limited touches through three games, Brown managed to match Zack Moss' workload in Week 4. That began early on near the goal line when Brown replaced Moss and punched in the team's first touchdown of the day from three yards away. With the team in positive game script for much of the second half, Brown split carries evenly and tallied another touchdown from one yard out while also recording a long run of 20 yards. It's unclear whether Brown has secured this role consistently moving forward, but his usage Sunday was a significant step forward for his fantasy utility.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brown should be taken more seriously than the typical fifth-round pick after demonstrating an adept skill set as both a runner and receiver at Illinois, along with strong athletic testing at the combine. Brown (5-10, 209) isn't built for a workhorse role in the NFL, but he has the long speed (4.43 40) and short-area burst (127-inch broad jump) to pose an explosive threat as a runner and receiver. The last two years he rushed for 2,648 yards (5.3 YPC) and 15 touchdowns and caught 41 of 49 targets for 382 yards and three touchdowns (83.7 percent catch rate, 7.8 YPT) in 22 games for Illinois. The Bengals let Samaje Perine walk, and Brown is faster and more skilled than both Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans. With Joe Mixon seemingly tempting league disciplinary scrutiny with a pair of bizarre off-field events, Brown could be closer to the field than most assume.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Earns praise from left tackle
RBCincinnati Bengals
August 14, 2024
Teammate Orlando Brown believes Chase Brown is poised for a breakout year in 2024, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com. "If I could play fantasy football, I'd take him as my first running back," the left tackle said of the second-year running back. "He's going to have a year. I guarantee it. Special talent, special player."
ANALYSIS
After parting ways with Joe Mixon, Cincinnati is poised to use a combination of Brown and Zack Moss at running back. Brown is shiftier and could get more opportunities on outside runs, while Moss is built to run between the tackles. Brown, the Bengals' starting left tackle, is specifically high on Chase Brown among Cincinnati's top two backfield options.
