Bengals RB Chase Brown tallied 22 carries, 101 yards, and 2 TDs in Sunday’s blowout win over Arizona. Brown caught all 3 of his targets for 40 yards. The 25-year-old has now hit 29.1 and 32.9 PPR points over his past two matchups, while he hasn't dipped under 15 points since Week 7.

Bengals RB Chase Brown racked up 109 total yards and three scores in Sunday's blowout win over Miami. Brown became the first RB with three TDs in a quarter since Joe Mixon did it with the Bengals in 2022. In total, Brown's 32.9 PPR points topped his prior season-high by nearly eight.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow had one of the worst games of his career going 25/39 for 225 yards and 2 INTs with the Bengals scoring no points. This was the first time the Bengals have been shut out in a Burrow start. Despite the woeful offense, his weapons did come through in PPR with WR Ja’Marr Chase going 10-132-0 on 16 targets. RB Chase Brown went 13-53-0 on the ground but 7-37-0 through the air catching all of his targets.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine hurt his right leg in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He was in obvious pain and could put no weight on the leg. We'll update Perine's status when we know more. His absence turns RB Chase Brown back into a workhorse.

Update: Perine returned on Cincinnati's next possession.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for Thursday night's game vs. the Ravens. Perine had worked his way into about one-third of the backfield work before going down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 9. RB Chase Brown has been excellent without Perine the last two weeks, though, totaling 206 yards on 5.6 yards per carry and catching eight of 12 targets. We're expecting Perine to steal some work from Brown going forward -- but not as much as he was before the ankle injury. Brown remains a strong Week 13 fantasy start.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 12. He didn’t practice all week and won’t play against the Patriots on Sunday. That’ll again mean an every-down role for Chase Brown, who is a RB1 in fantasy lineups.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) put in his second straight full practice on Thursday. He took snaps with the first-team offense in the portion of practice open to the media. "The plan was to see how Burrow responded today after being full yesterday. Looks like... pretty good," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted. ESPN's Adam Schefter said this morning that there's a "real possibility" that Burrow returns for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots, and that's looking even likelier now. We're now projecting Burrow to play this weekend, although he'll do so at less than 100% and without WR Ja'Marr Chase. See where Burrow and the rest of the Bengals land in the Week 12 Rankings.

The NFL has suspended Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase one game for spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey in Sunday's game. We'll see whether Chase appeals, but video caught him committing the act. So it's tough to envision this one getting overturned.

Winds are forecasted at 15-20 mph with gusts around 30-35 mph for today's Bengals-Steelers game. That figures to impact some long passes and kicks, although it's worth noting that the over/under on this game has held steady at 48.5. We're not adjusting projections in this one but might shy away from Ks Chris Boswell and Evan McPherson.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. That should leave RB Chase Brown in a workhorse role. He played 95% of the offensive snaps and handled 11 carries and 14 targets with Perine out for most of Cincinnati’s last game.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the Bears and is considered "week to week," HC Zac Taylor said. Perine gets a Week 10 bye but could certainly miss time beyond that. High-ankle sprains often cost players 4+ weeks, although we don't have a definitive timetable for Perine's return. His absence would be a major boon for RB Chase Brown, who set season highs with a 95% snap rate and 86% route rate with Perine out for most of last week's game. Brown handled 11 of 13 RB carries and drew a whopping 14 targets. He looks like at least a high-end RB2 for as long as Perine is out.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine injured his right ankle early in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bears and did not return. RB Chase Brown dominated backfield work the rest of the way, handling eight carries and a whopping 13 targets to RB Tahj Brooks' one carry and 0 targets. We'll look for an update on Perine's status. Brown will be a big fantasy winner if he misses more time.

Bengals RB Chase Brown had easily his best game of the season in Thursday night's 33-31 win over the Steelers. He carried 11 times for 108 yards -- good for 9.8 yards per carry. Brown busted off a season-long 37-yard run in the second quarter and had a 27-yarder earlier in that frame. He wasn't nearly as good in the passing game, catching two of four targets for -8 yards. Brown had a drop in the first quarter for what could have gone for a gain of 20+ yards.

Bengals RB Chase Brown posted a 9-42 rushing line in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. That's not helping anyone win a fantasy matchup, but the 4.7 yards per rush at least marked a season high. Brown added 2 catches for 7 yards among two targets, season-low receiving production for Cincinnati's lead back. And perhaps most worrisome, he has spent the past two weeks nearly matching Samaje Perine in playing time.

Bengals RB Chase Brown remained underwhelming in an ugly Week 5 loss to Detroit. The third-year RB tallied 27 rushing yards on 8 attempts and 21 yards on 7 receptions.

NFL Network reports that Bengals QB Joe Burrow is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Bengals. If confirmed, Burrow will need surgery and miss "at least 3 months." ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that images of Burrow's toe are being sent to foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson before a final decision is made.

Bengals RB Chase Brown assumed his expected lead-back spot in Thursday night's preseason opener against the Eagles. According to Pro Football Focus, he played 12 of the team's 16 first-team snaps, matching WR Tee Higgins (and WR Andrei Iosivas) while trailing QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase by just four snaps. But Samaje Perine picked up those other four snaps, running a pass route on each of them. That put him just two routes short of Brown's number (six). According to PFF, Perine took the field for Cincinnati's only third down with more than a yard to go, and his other three chances came in clear passing situations.

The Bengals on Wednesday announced that they've released RB Zack Moss. It's not a shocking ending given that Moss averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per rush last year, suffered a season-ending neck injury, and then took a pay cut in the offseason. But it could tell us something about the 2025 backfield.

The Bengals and RB Zack Moss have agreed to restructure the final year of his deal, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Moss missed the final nine games of last season with a neck injury, but Cincinnati is "clearly confident in his return," according to Garafolo.
