The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Chase Brown.
Is Chase Brown Playing in Week 2?

We’ll continue to monitor the Bengals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Chase Brown in Week 2?
The Bengals’ underachieving in early September is becoming an odd trend, and Chase Brown was unable to avoid it last week against the Browns (Week 1: RB22).
Don’t care.
The Bengals have more than enough equity built up in the fantasy space to excuse a single bad week against an above-average defense that they share a division with.
His four best performances during his breakout 2024 season came in Cincinnati victories, and with the home team favored by 3.5 points, the wise guys are expecting a W in this spot (as am I!).
I was pitching Brown as a fringe RB1 this summer, and I think he’s better than that this week (RB7). It’s very possible that we look back in four months and realize that his worst game of the season came at the best time: Week 1.
