• Bengals' Chase Brown: Capitalizes on lead-back role

  18H ago • By RotoWire

  Brown rushed 27 times for 120 yards and brought in all five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday. With Zack Moss (neck) sidelined, Brown essentially had the Bengals backfield to himself. The second-year back mustered career highs in both rush attempts and rushing yardage, and he recorded his second receiving touchdown of the campaign on an impressive one-yard catch in the back of the end zone late in the first quarter. Brown had already been trending toward the No. 1 back role -- Sunday marked his sixth straight game with double-digit carries -- and given the returns he provided against the Raiders, Brown should remain atop the ground attack irrespective of Moss's status for a Week 10 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

• Bengals' Chase Brown: Three-down role likely awaits

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Brown is expected to take on the majority of the snaps out of the Cincinnati backfield in Sunday's game against the Raiders with Zack Moss (neck) inactive for the contest, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Brown had already played 48 percent of the snaps or more in each of the last three games while outproducing Moss and seemingly emerging as Option 1A in Cincinnati's backfield timeshare, but the absence of Moss for Week 9 should pave the way for Brown to see his most significant playing time to date. Cincinnati's other active running backs include special-teams standout Trayveon Williams and practice-squad call-up Kendall Milton, neither of whom have logged a snap on offense in 2024. Expect the backups to be sprinkled in lightly while Brown likely handles a three-down role, at least for as long as Sunday's contest stays competitive.

• Bengals' Chase Brown: Added touches likely with Moss hurt

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown is likely to see the lion's share of touches in the Bengals backfield Sunday against the Raiders, as Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports that Zack Moss (neck) is listed as doubtful for that contest. Brown stands to benefit from Moss's surprise addition to the injury report Friday. While Moss has been on hand to split backfield duties, Brown has played more than half of Cincinnati's offensive snaps only twice this season, and Brown was on the field for 48 percent of snaps Week 8 against the Eagles compared to Moss's 52 percent. If the Bengals continue to distrust Brown's pass protection, that could create an opportunity for Trayveon Williams to play a meaningful role against the Raiders as well.

• Bengals' Chase Brown: Suiting up Sunday

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown (quadricep) is listed as active for Sunday's game at the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Though coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Brown would be good to go for the contest, the running back was ultimately deemed questionable ahead of Week 6 action after logging his second straight limited practice. While Brown's availability versus New York didn't really appear in danger, his official injury report listing nonetheless made his status worth confirming. Now that he's been made active, Brown is in a position to continue to share backfield duties with Zack Moss. With that arrangement in play, during Cincinnati's first five contests this season, Brown has carried 41 times for 230 yards and two TDs and added 10 catches for 39 yards and another score, while Moss has recorded 57 carries for 211 yards and two touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 124 yards and a TD.

• Bengals' Chase Brown: Should play Sunday night

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown (quadricep), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, is expected to play, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports. Head coach Zac Taylor said as much when he touched on Brown's status following Friday's practice, but fantasy managers should have some extra assurance about the running back being cleared to play ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Expect Brown and Zack Moss to continue operating in a tandem out of the backfield that has proven beneficial for both players, who have three touchdowns apiece on the season.
