2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Bengals appear to favor Zack Moss as their starting running back after signing him to a two-year, $8 million contract in free agency, though the pay isn't prohibitively high if Brown looks like the better player this summer. The Bengals might more so need a rotation between the two, for the sake of both players. Moss has struggled to stay healthy dating back to college and does no good for Cincinnati if he's injured, with history suggesting he'll get banged up if tasked with large workloads each week. Brown can at least provide relief, and there's a chance the former Illinois standout and 2023 fifth-round pick eventually takes the starting role in Cincinnati. He's a capable runner and receiver both, and he's actually heavier than Moss if the most recent height/weight listing are to be believed (215 pounds to 205). Brown is also younger and much faster than Moss (4.43-second 40 vs. 4.65 seconds), giving the second-year pro a real chance to play a lot of snaps in what should be a quality Bengals offense.

Looks set for No. 2 role
Brown appears primed to work as the top backup to Zack Moss following the 2024 NFL Draft, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bengals didn't select a single running back across 10 picks in this year's draft, so even if the team brings in a handful of talented UDFAs, Brown looks like a notable winner for fantasy purposes. He flashed across 12 appearances as a rookie last season, and while Moss' experience with a large workload and on third downs may make him the favorite for the No. 1 role, Brown's short-area burst could make him an effective complementary option. If Brown can put together a solid offseason and push for increased touches, he could be an interesting late-round sleeper in 2024 drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In better situation in '24
Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com suggests Brown is in a better situation in 2024 working alongside newcomer Zack Moss than he was with Joe Mixon last season.
ANALYSIS
Brown showed flashes last season as a rookie, but he ultimately garnered a scant 58 touches across 12 games. Mixon continued to play a large role, playing in all 17 games and drawing 309 total touches in what would turn out to be the last of his seven Bengals seasons. Moss should naturally see his fair share of work in 2024, but Rosenthal sees the two players having much less of a gap in workload than the Mixon-Brown tandem did.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brown should be taken more seriously than the typical fifth-round pick after demonstrating an adept skill set as both a runner and receiver at Illinois, along with strong athletic testing at the combine. Brown (5-10, 209) isn't built for a workhorse role in the NFL, but he has the long speed (4.43 40) and short-area burst (127-inch broad jump) to pose an explosive threat as a runner and receiver. The last two years he rushed for 2,648 yards (5.3 YPC) and 15 touchdowns and caught 41 of 49 targets for 382 yards and three touchdowns (83.7 percent catch rate, 7.8 YPT) in 22 games for Illinois. The Bengals let Samaje Perine walk, and Brown is faster and more skilled than both Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans. With Joe Mixon seemingly tempting league disciplinary scrutiny with a pair of bizarre off-field events, Brown could be closer to the field than most assume.
