BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: While Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss had a rough game in Week 6 and coughed up a fumble, he was likely playing through pain in his ankle. He didn't seem to be 100% on the field. It'll be nice to see him recover, but it's concerning that he could be losing his job to backup Chase Brown.
Anyone just win (or lose) their matchup on this Chase Brown TD?
Looking at Chase Brown's running back rush shares by week:
Week 1: 25.0%
Week 2: 25.0%
Week 3: 36.8%
Week 4: 50.0%
Week 5: 57.1%
Week 6: 62.5%Brown has a 51% success rate, per Next Gen Stats, versus Zack Moss' 31% pic.twitter.com/1F5GIBV131

Long-term, it looks like even when Moss is back to 100%, he won't see the role he had before. The Bengals have likely been evaluating their running back situation and have seen more potential in Brown. The second-year-pro has seen his workload increase and has shown a clear advantage in big-play potential.
The split could hover around 50/50 to 60/40 for percentage of workload by each back, which would make Moss take a huge hit value-wise. He will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 7 and may need a touchdown to be fantasy relevant, but he has had goal line work this season, so it's not impossible.
