Chase Brown DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cincinnati Bengals running backs Zack Moss (foot) and Chase Brown (quadriceps) were both limited in Thursday's practice. Moss did not practice on Wednesday, while Brown is a new addition to the Week 6 injury report. Moss' ability to return to practice a day later is good news for his status this week, but the Bengals' backfield is worth watching over the next couple of days. If one or both of Moss and Brown are questionable to play, fantasy managers will have some tough decisions to make with the Bengals facing the New York Giants on Sunday night. Fantasy managers will want to check back for Friday's final injury report for more clarity on the situation. If one or both are up in the air to face the G-Men, Trayveon Williams could be looking at a much bigger workload in Week 6. Moss checks in as the RB20 in half-PPR this year, while Brown isn't far behind as the RB26.

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.

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.

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.

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.
