"Despite not being the Bengals' featured back, Brown has been a steal for fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, he has been among the top 10 scorers among running backs in PPR leagues, according to ESPN Research. Brown has scored three touchdowns in the past two weeks and is Cincinnati's big-play threat on the ground. Among backs with 25 carries or more, Brown is second in the league in percentage of runs that go for 10 or more yards (22%), trailing only Atlanta's Tyler Allgeier. There's also belief inside the building that the combo of Brown and Zack Moss will improve as the season continues." -Ben Baby

"This is life in the ultra-competitive NFL: Instead of a game-winning field goal and a 2-3 record, rookie punter Ryan Rehkow bobbled the snap and it was a miss. The Ravens won shortly after and Cincinnati is 1-4. The Bengals’ four losses are by a combined 15 points."- Frank Schwab
