Chase Brown fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Should you start or sit Chase Brown for fantasy football lineups in Week 8?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all formats as your RB2/Flex option
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end RB3 with added value if your league awards points for kick returns
ANALYSIS: Brown is an explosive running back with the ability to take one to the house on any given play. The bad news is that he has yet to eclipse 17 touches in a game, which means we need him to be ultra-efficient with those touches.
Chase Brown had a 60.4% snap share for the #Bengals last week.
He is:
- #11 in Fantasy Points Per Opportunity (1.08)
- #9 in Total Touchdowns (4)
- #7 in True Yards Per Carry (5.3)Can Brown’s explosiveness lead to more touches in the coming weeks? 📈pic.twitter.com/4PEqASsVmH

Last week, Brown was on the field for 58% of the snaps, touching the ball 17 times for a solid 63 yards. More tellingly, he’s dominated the red zone plays, taking 100% of those snaps, while ceding some passing down duties to fellow teammate Zack Moss.
The stars are aligning in this week’s matchup against Philadelphia. According to Derek Brown of FantasyPros, the Eagles have given up some of the highest yards before contact per attempt, not to mention they’re pretty soft against zone run schemes, which is right up Brown’s alley. He’s run 62.1% of his carries in zone setups, and with Philly struggling against this kind of attack, Brown could be in for a monster day.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants.

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 […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason.
