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.

RANKS
Six touches in loss
Brown rushed three times for 11 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Brown was on the field for just 17 of the Bengals' 51 offensive snaps Sunday, roughly half of that of backfield mate Zack Moss, who finished with 33 snaps. The delineation of snaps between the two backs was unclear entering the contest, but Moss seemed to be the preferred option while carrying the ball nine times and seeing four targets. Though Brown's role left much to be desired for fantasy managers hoping he could take a step forward this season, he certainly has room to grow as the more explosive option on a team that struggled offensively Week 1. The 24-year-old will look to take on a larger share of Cincinnati's split backfield when the Bengals visit the Chiefs in Week 2.

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.

Earns praise from left tackle
Teammate Orlando Brown believes Chase Brown is poised for a breakout year in 2024, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com.

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.
