Most NFL teams appear to be set with their running back depth chart, but the Bengals have a legitimate battle to fill the shoes of Joe Mixon. Second-year running back Chase Brown and veteran Zach Moss are fighting for handoffs from Joe Burrow and each could make a case for being higher in the 2024 Fantasy football rankings. Moss is coming off a career-best season while splitting time with Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis. Meanwhile, Brown averaged over 50 scrimmage yards per game over the last six contests in 2023 despite getting fewer than 10 touches per game. Both should see plenty of snaps, but who should you prioritize for your 2024 Fantasy football picks? Brown’s 2024 Fantasy football ADP is over 20 spots after Moss’, as a lack of name recognition could be hurting the sophomore.

Top 2024 Fantasy football picks
The Fantasy football draft bible features 2024 Fantasy football sleepers, including:
Kimani Vidal, RB, Los Angeles Chargers: The Sun Belt OPOY in 2023, Vidal ranked second in all of college football with 1,661 rushing yards. He’s the classic high-volume RB that Jim Harbaugh has deployed both at Michigan and with the 49ers. Vidal is behind former Ravens Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins on the depth chart, but both players have long injury histories. Vidal is a deep sleeper or a draft-and-stash player who could be a spot starter if either player ahead of him is sidelined.
“Vidal was productive at Troy but was also run into the ground with 528 carries over the last two seasons,” White told SportsLine. “His potential is higher than J.K. Dobbins coming off another major injury.”
Jermaine Burton, WR, Cincinnati Bengals: Cincy lost its No. 3 receiver in Tyler Boyd, who averaged a stat line of 64-752-4 over the last three seasons, which coincides with Ja’Marr Chase’s arrival. That’s a sizable role, and Burton was a big-play threat at both Georgia and Alabama. He led the SEC with 20.5 yards per reception last year and also provides insurance for both Chase, who’s missed six games over the last two seasons, and Tee Higgins, who missed five games last year.
“Burton has drawn a little sleeper buzz with the potential he can fill the Tyler Boyd role in the Bengals offense as a rookie, but enough of that juice is already baked into his price that it’s going to be difficult for him to reach our successful sleeper benchmark without an injury to Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins,” White told SportsLine. “Another potential pathway to providing big value would be if the Bengals deal Higgins as has long been speculated.” Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
