BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex
ANALYSIS: It was a rough Week 1 for the Bengals. Most assumed Cincinnati would have no issues getting past the New England Patriots. However, that didn’t happen, with the Pats securing their first win of the 2024-25 campaign.
Without question, the Bengals’ offense failed to deliver. Quarterback Joe Burrow threw for only 164 yards. Even worse, the signal-caller didn’t throw a touchdown pass.
At the same time, Ja'Marr Chase, who was declared active not long before kickoff, had six grabs for 62 yards. Although things could have gone worse, fantasy managers were expecting more from the wideout. Running back Zack Moss was the only Bengal to do anything meaningful on the offensive end. The 26-year-old had just 44 yards off nine touches.
Yet, he at least scored a touchdown, finding the end zone late in the third quarter off a five-yard carry. Despite his semi-adequate showing, fantasy managers are still wondering if Moss can be trusted, especially with a difficult matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on the horizon.

It's difficult to speculate if he will have the same level of involvement in Week 2. However, Moss was more active than Chase Brown throughout the opener, logging 33 snaps compared to the 17 from the latter.
Of course, there is always a chance things will change regarding the backfield plan, resulting in Brown getting more than the three carries he had in Week 1. However, based on Moss’ Week 1 performance, he at least deserves flex consideration in 12+ team leagues, even more so with Tee Higgins expected to miss a second consecutive contest because of a bum hamstring.
