Bengals want to manage RB Chase Brown's workload

Nov 26, 2024

Head coach Zac Taylor said they want to find ways to manage running back Chase Brown's workload.

Related players: Khalil Herbert, Trayveon Williams, Kendall Milton

Fantasy Impact:

Taylor said they want Brown to touch the ball as much as possible, but added the Bengals need another back to get work as well. Coming off the bye week, that back should likely be Herbert, who the Bengals got in a trade from the Bears before the deadline. When we last saw the Bengals in Week 11, in a loss to the Chargers, Brown ran 22 times for 86 yards and added five catches for 57 yards. Herbert didn't have a touch in the game and played on about 5% of the snaps.

TE Cade Otton, S Antoine Winfield Jr. and WR Sterling Shepard are all OUT for Bucs in Week 17.

Related Players: Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, Devin Culp, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller

Fantasy Impact:

Shepard shouldn't impact the rest of the team's target share too much, while none of these tight ends need to be considered.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins on track to play Week 17

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (questionable, ankle/knee) improved every day in practice and there's optimism he can play Sat. vs. Broncos, barring new development, per sources.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Mike Gesicki

Fantasy Impact:

Iosivas is a fine deep-league WR5 if Higgins misses, and Gesicki would be firmly in the TE streaming streets, but Higgins typically plays when "questionable" this season. Consider Higgins a WR2 if he's on the field.
