Chase Brown - Set to share work with Moss The nature of Cincinnati's backfield split between Brown and Zack Moss remains somewhat unclear ahead of Sunday's game against New England, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports. Impact There's agreement from Bengals beat writers that both RBs will be heavily involved, and the good news for fantasy is that there may even be room for both to thrive with the team opening its season at home as a heavy favorite. The Bengals won't always be favored by more than a touchdown, of course, and there will be plenty of weeks in which WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins comfortably outproduce the running backs. It'll thus be important to keep close tabs on how the Bengals deploy Moss and Brown in various situations, although there's some chance it's more of a hot-hand approach than anything else. Brown is much faster and more dangerous in the open field, but Moss is viewed as a superior blocker and could thus take a lot of playing time in pass situations even if he's less threatening on screens and dump-offs. And while Moss is a logical favorite for goal-line carries, it's possible even those opportunities are split between the two RBs to some degree.
