And Zac Taylor also said RB Zack Moss is out indefinitely due to his neck injury.

With Moss out, Brown looks to be the team's RB1 going forward, and has been backing it up with RB1 numbers as well. Look for the team to ride Brown, but Williams now enters the picture as the team's RB2.

Zac: Chase Brown and Zack Moss good to go.
Sheldon Rankins, too.

A bit of a surprise, as Moss' ankle injury looked pretty nasty. From a fantasy perspective, it would have been nice to have just one of them on the field in Week 6, but no matter, they are both absolutely in play as RB2s in a Bengals offense that has looked almost unstoppable.

Chase Brown (quad) is practicing on Friday.

Seems like the limited practice yesterday wasn't an indication of Brown's availability for Week 6. Zack Moss is still undecided though, which makes each of their projections difficult to assume quite yet. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but if Moss is out, Brown makes for a slam-dunk play this weekend.

Running back Zack Moss wasn’t around for the end of Sunday’s overtime loss to the Ravens, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be missing much more time.

Moss left the game with an ankle injury, but Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that he avoided a serious injury and is believed to be OK as the team moves into Week Six.

Moss ran nine times for 24 yards and caught three passes for 28 yards in Sunday’s loss. He has 57 carries for 211 yards and two touchdowns and 15 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown over the entire season. The Bengals play the Giants on Sunday night so those counting on Moss may have to come up with a backup plan as any kind of ankle injury can be tricky. If Moss can't go, Brown would likely see a larger workload and there are many who consider him the better back for the Bengals. It would also be a nice matchup against the Giants, too. We'll continue to track Moss' practice status this week, but Brown may be a guy to pickup if he's still on your wire.

Bengals RB Chris Evans suffered a torn patellar tendon during today’s practice, and he will miss the entire regular season.

Just a devastating blow for the former Michigan star, who was having a strong camp with Cincinnati.

It seemed as if Evans were on the outside looking in on the roster bubble, but this injury will clear the way for Williams to presumably lock in a spot. Hopefully Evans has a smooth recovery and finds a team for the 2025 season.

Bengals RB Zack Moss missed the team’s preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an illness.

Moss came down with the illness Friday. With Moss out, Chase Brown got the start against the Buccaneers. He carried five times for ten yards and caught a pass but did not gain any yards on the reception. The Bengals will be back in action next Saturday against the Chicago Bears.

Plot twist: The Bengals are now trading Joe Mixon to the Texans, rather than releasing him. So Zack Moss signs in Cincy, Mixon is traded to Houston. From Joe Burrow to C.J. Stroud.

Related Players: Dameon Pierce

Dameon Pierce has been woefully inefficient with his touches during his first two seasons in Houston, which led to Devin Singletary snatching his job away from him last year. He is unlikely to get in the way of Mixon taking over the majority of the workload. This is a best-possible-scenario for Mixon after leaving the Bengals and brings him right back into fantasy relevance as a pass-catcher on a great offense.

It's the end of an era in Cincinnati, where Joe Mixon spent seven seasons, ran for 49 touchdowns, and was part of a Super Bowl team. Now, both sides move on, with Zack Moss joining the Bengals and Mixon headed to free agency.

The Bengals looked like they would prefer a committee approach towards the end of last season, and that's likely what is going to happen heading into 2024, with Moss operating as the main piece. He won't have the upside of Mixon because of that usage, but he should still be considered a top-25 option, with Brown a little bit behind that.

The Colts ruled RB Zack Moss out for Week 16 against the Falcons.

Moss was initially listed as questionable for Sunday but the Colts downgraded him Saturday. Jonathan Taylor should have most of the backfield to himself. The Colts could still use Trey Sermon a bit but Taylor is a top-five running back for us now as the Colts look to keep not only their playoff hopes alive but their division hopes. The Colts, Jaguars and Texans all sit at 8-6.

The Colts did not practice today, but on their estimated report:

- RB Jonathan Taylor was a full participant
- WR Michael Pittman, Jr. was a limited participant
- RB Zack Moss was a non-participant

Still early in the week to project exact usage for the Colts skill position players with so much still up in the air, but we'll keep an eye on it. If Pittman does go, he is in a decent spot against the Falcons, and would boost Gardner Minshew into streaming consideration.
