BALLER MOVE: Start in 20+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5
ANALYSIS: While many thought that Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had a strong opportunity to earn the RB1 job out of training camp, that has definitely not been the case through the first two weeks. Brown has played less than 35% of the team's offensive snaps in both contests this season while failing to score more than 5.5 PPR fantasy points in either game.
With Zack Moss locked into that RB1 role, Brown will enter Week 3 with little fantasy value. He has just 10 total touches through two contests and has yet to play more than 17 snaps in a game this season. As a result, the Bengals running back should only be started in deeper formats this weekend against the Commanders.
Bengals OC Dan Pitcher on the Zack Moss/Chase Brown RB splits: "Any discrepancy you're seeing to this point is unintentional and the product of a small sample size." Moss had an 80% snap share vs. KC compared to Brown's 20%.

Despite Washington allowing 4.6 yards per carry so far this season, Brown is a riskier play in Week 3. He hasn't really been involved on offense, and Moss figures to see most of the running back carries in this contest, especially with the Bengals being seven-point favorites on Monday.
