Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

Like Henry, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has been an enormous disappointment in fantasy this year. The entire Bengals offense has struggled following Joe Burrow’s Week 2 injury, with backup Jake Browning looking well below par.

Having won their opening two games of the season, the Bengals can still make the playoffs, despite their recent slump. After a considerable investment in their offensive weapons this past offseason, they can’t afford to be idle.

Browning got the offense moving late against the Detroit Lions in Week 5, but the entire second half felt like garbage time, given how poorly the Bengals were playing. Cincinnati needs to find a way to get Brown more involved, and if you can get him for mid to low-end RB2 value, he’s talented enough to bet on.

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, New England Patriots

It’s only a matter of time until TreVeyon Henderson gets a real opportunity to blow up in fantasy football. Currently, it seems that, regardless of how many times he fumbles the ball, Rhamondre Stevenson will continue to receive the best opportunities for the New England Patriots.

However, that won’t last forever, and Henderson is explosive enough to force the team to feed him sooner or later. It’s not unusual for rookies to be introduced slowly, and nobody should be panicking about the former Ohio State star just yet.

Antonio Gibson left Week 5’s game against the Buffalo Bills with a knee injury, which could help Henderson’s cause moving forward. Upcoming games against the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans should offer the rookie an excellent opportunity to earn a starting role.

Henderson should be pursued at a mid-to-low-end RB2 value, and will be a weekly RB1 contender when he finally takes over in New England.
