BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: After seeing just seven rushing attempts through the first two weeks of the season, Chase Brown has begun to emerge as valuable fantasy contributor and should be started in all standard formats this weekend.
Since Week 3, Brown has had at least seven carries and three targets in each game. In addition, in Weeks 4 and 5, the 24-year-old saw double-digit attempts and tallied a season-high 80 yards in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers.
Chase Brown scores again!

While Zack Moss is still expected to be the "1A" of this backfield, he left last Sunday's game early with a foot injury and did not practice on Wednesday. As a result, Brown could be the lone option in the Cincinnati backfield which could significant improve his Week 6 outlook.
Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Moss' status throughout the week as Brown could be a must-start option if Moss is unable to suit up. If Moss does play this weekend, Brown should be viewed as a high-end flex option.
