Bengals Offensive Coordinator Dan Pitcher has just declared that RB Chase Brown will be a key player in the team's offense this season. Following a breakout year where Brown ranked as the fantasy RB11 overall, his stock is on the rise, especially as he took over leading the backfield after injuries to other players. With a potent offense and a defense that struggled last season, Brown's role could be substantial, potentially making him a valuable asset for fantasy teams. However, with the return of Zack Moss and the addition of Samaje Perine, there may be competition for touches, but Brown remains the favorite to lead the backfield. He’s currently being drafted in the early-to-mid third round, and if he retains his role in the passing game, his value could further increase.
