BALLER MOVE: Consider in 14+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: A popular sleeper in drafts this summer, rookie running back Chase Brown is finally getting his chance. With just five touches in the first 12 weeks of his debut season, Brown has quadrupled that total in the last two games.
The Bengals are leaning into the running game with inexperienced quarterback Jake Browning under center. Starter Joe Mixon hasn't lost any of his work (it's actually increased) but the rookie has carved out a role of his own. Last week, Brown totaled over 100 yards and also found the end zone for the first time.
Riding a two-game winning streak and reentering the playoff picture, there's no reason to believe that Zac Taylor abandons the run-heavy approach. The execution will be tougher in Week 15. The Vikings have only allowed running backs to tally 909 rushing yards and five total touchdowns through 13 games. They're the fifth-best defense against the position. Minnesota has, however, surrendered 70 catches to running backs, seventh most in the league. Brown should have more opportunities in the screen game.
It's difficult to rely on a part-time player now that the fantasy playoffs have arrived. Brown is a middling RB3 option and can be avoided in most standard-sized leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
