Chase Brown fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 5 (2024). Should you start or sit Chase Brown for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Bench in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should consider benching Chase Brown this week unless they deal with bye-week problems and need a fill-in.
While Brown flashed his potential last week with 15 carries for 80 yards and two touchdowns, his role in the Bengals' backfield is still developing, and he remains in a timeshare with Zack Moss.
With a tough matchup against the Ravens' stout defense in Week 5, relying on Brown as a fantasy starter is risky. The Ravens have been strong against the run, which could limit Brown’s opportunities and overall effectiveness, making him a less appealing option this week.
That said, Brown’s long-term potential remains promising, especially as he gains more work alongside Moss. His breakout performance last week hints at his upside later in the season, particularly if he secures a larger share of the Bengals' backfield.
While it's best to keep him benched against a tough Ravens defense, Brown could become a valuable asset as the year progresses, so fantasy managers should stash him on their rosters for future use.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking.

He played 91 percent […]
