2025 Fantasy Outlook

Role & Backfield Situation

• With Zack Moss healthy and Samaje Perine also on the roster, Cincinnati appears to maintain a committee

• Still, no major offseason RB additions suggest confidence in Brown continuing as the primary option

• Bengals’ offense remains high-powered; Brown offers potential RB1 upside

Predictable Volume

• Expect a similar snap share (~80%) and 20+ touches/game if Moss avoids major setbacks

• Volume should be sufficient for high-end RB2 or fringe RB1 in fantasy drafts

• Dual-threat ability: 7 rush TDs + 4 receiving TDs in 2024

• Receiver involvement strong: 54 receptions on 65 targets (83% catch rate), adding 360 yards — valuable in PPR formats

• Above-average explosives rank (#26 rushing, #34 receiving)

Headliner Take

Chase Brown is a HIGH END RB2 with upside, offering 1,200–1,400 scrimmage yards and 8–12 total TDs in 2025. He’ll be a key fantasy asset, especially in formats that reward pass-catching. If you’re targeting dependable high-volume backs, Brown should be on your radar early. With no major backfield additions and the Bengals maintaining a high-powered offense, Brown is positioned for another season of significant volume. His consistent workload and receiving role make him a dependable RB2 with RB1 upside. If you find yourself worried about Perine or Moss just know they are nothing special and the cream always rises to the top. Im more worried about the OL than the backfield depth.
