Bengals RB Chase Brown continued to dominate backfield work in Sunday night's loss to the Chargers. He handled all 22 of the team's RB carries and all 7 backfield targets. Brown rushed for 86 yards (3.9 per carry) while ranking third on the team in targets, receptions (5), and receiving yards (57). Khalil Herbert played just 4 snaps and ran 3 routes (to Brown's 33).
Brown has taken every Bengals RB touch in the three games since Zack Moss went down. (Cincinnati's lone attempt at a carry for Herbert so far produced a fumble in the QB-RB exchange.)
That has meant 20.7 carries per game over the past three weeks, with 5+ receptions in each contest.
We'll see whether the role shifts at all after the Week 12 bye. But Brown looks like he should be locked into fantasy lineups across formats the rest of the way.
His remaining schedule looks fairly neutral.
