BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex
ANALYSIS: It looks like Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is making a legitimate push for the starting job over veteran Zack Moss. The second-year pro has outshined his backfield mate lately -- Brown has now scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in three straight games and has seen his work increase.

Both running backs fumbled at some point, but it was Moss who was nearly pulled from the game after his. He hardly played after his turnover. It helped that Brown's fumble went out of bounds, and he scored a long touchdown soon afterward.
We're likely seeing a transition to a 50/50 split at worst for the second-year pro, but the talent level has been proven to be different.

He appears to have massively improved his ability to play the position, and his blazing speed doesn't hurt, either. His next opponent, the Cleveland Browns, has been solid against running backs this season, so there may be more of a challenge than against the Giants. But he's worth a start this week as an RB3/flex.
