CINCINNATI — Bengals running back Chase Brown burst onto the scene last season, finishing with 990 rushing yards (4.3 yards-per-carry) and seven touchdowns. He also had 54 catches on 65 targets for 360 yards and four more scores.

Is that his ceiling or a sign of things to come?

Fantasy analyst Chris O'Brien believes Brown could end up being the No. 1 running back in fantasy leagues this season.

"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."

He also noted that Brown averaged 20.4 points-per-game, which was the fourth-most among running backs, over the last 10 weeks of the season.

The Bengals kept Moss on the roster, plus they signed Samaje Perine in free agency and took Tahj Brooks in the draft.

The depth behind Brown is much better this season, but he's the clear cut No. 1 running back on the team.

Chase Brown is my dark horse pick to finish as RB1 overall.

Dude had 6 straight top-10 RB Weeks after Zack Moss went down.

20.2 PPG (RB4) over the last 10 weeks.
