The ceiling is quite high for the third year running back in Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Bengals have arguably (not much to argue) the best offensive unit in the National Football League going into 2025.
The Bengals have resigned their core three guys in Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins.
Cincinnati also brought back Mike Gesicki to a three-year deal, giving Burrow some much-needed consistency at the tight end position for the next few years.
But the talent does not fall off from there… The Bengals also have some young guns like Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton, and Charlie Jones ready to contribute as well.
There is still another name that will bring major production this season, and that is running back Chase Brown.
Brown was stellar as RB1 in Cincinnati last season and would’ve cracked 1,000 rushing yards if he did not miss the final game due to an injury.
Brown finished the year with 990 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, he also had 54 catches for 360 yards and four touchdowns as well.
Fantasy Football Analyst Chris O’Brien sees some major potential in Brown and even believes he could be RB1 in Fantasy in 2025.
“Chase Brown is my dark horse pick to finish as RB1 overall.” O’Brien tweeted. “Dude had six-straight top-10 RB weeks after Zack Moss went down.”

The Bengals did bring back Samaje Perine, Zack Moss, and drafted Tahj Brooks but there is no doubt Brown is still the top dawg in the running back room for 2025.
