BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-team Leagues or Larger
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Chase Brown is coming off his largest snap share of the season, as he played 62% of the offensive snaps against the Giants last Sunday night.
It's been a split backfield in Cincinnati all season, with Zack Moss and Brown locked in a timeshare. However, Brown's involvement has been trending up as he's logged 17, 15, and 12 touches over his last three games.
Brown has been the more productive of the two backs, averaging 5.8 yards per carry. Moss had a crucial fumble against the Giants last week that may have given Brown the opportunity he needed to grab the upper hand in this position battle.

With the Bengals taking on a Browns team that has been disappointing on both sides of the ball this week, you have to like Brown's chances of putting together another solid game for fantasy.
He was already the preferred option in the passing game, and if he's going to get more carries in the run game than Moss now, too, he could end up being very startable for the rest of the season in this high-octane Cincinnati offense.
