Chase Brown DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.
