Chase Brown is the taking the majority of reps with the 1st team at running back for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Brown is universally expected to take a significant leap in his second year. However, Cincinnati’s decision to sign Zack Moss on a two-year, $8 million deal led many to anticipate Moss as the Bengals’ primary running back, relegating Brown to a change-of-pace role. Recent training camp reports suggest a more evenly divided backfield, with Brown emerging as the potential starter.
Brown has dedicated this offseason to refining his receiving skills and has consistently impressed the Bengals’ coaching staff. If training camp trends persist into the regular season, the nearly 30-pick ADP discrepancy between Moss and Brown on Underdog significantly overvalues Moss. Fantasy Managers should target Brown as a high-upside player currently available outside the top 100 picks, especially in PPR formats, due to his projected involvement in the passing game.
