    Khalil Herbert rushed 20 times for 69 yards in the Bengals’ Week 18 win over the Steelers while adding seven catches for 14 yards.
    With Chase Brown unable to play, Herbert not only was the lead back for the Bengals, he was the only back. No other Cincinnati player received a carry. He finishes the season with all of 114 yards on 28 carries as he was well behind Brown and Zack Moss on the depth chart. Herbert will be a free agent at the end of the year and well off the fantasy radar for 2025.

    Chase Brown will workout pre-game and attempt to play against the Steelers in Week 18, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
    Rapoport had previously reported that Brown “must improve greatly” to play this week. However, the 24-year-old running back participated in walkthrough Friday, which could be a good sign for his availability against the Steelers. Brown is still listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision. Even if he’s active, there’s the potential Brown won’t be able to make it through the game without re-injury, but he’s certainly going to try. Khalil Herbert would be the main beneficiary from Brown either being inactive or limited in Week 18.
  • CIN Running Back #30
    Bengals RB Chase Brown (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 18 against the Steelers.
    Rookie right tackle Amarius Mims will also be a game-time decision. When asked about the possibility of both players playing in the pivotal Week 18 matchup, head coach Zac Taylor said, “We’ll see.” It’s about what we’d expect from Taylor, who needs all hands on deck Saturday if he and the Bengals hope to sneak into the playoffs after a disappointing 2024. Brown was a DNP in all three practices this week, but it sounds like the Bengals will give him up until inactives are announced to decide whether or not he’ll play or if Khalil Herbert will serve as the team’s RB1 for the week.

    Chase Brown (ankle) was not seen practicing Thursday.
    We are rapidly approaching Khalil Herbert SZN. The severity of the ankle injury Brown suffered in Week 17 against the Broncos was downplayed the following day, but the optics weren’t great on the field. The Bengals’ RB1 was not able to practice at all this week, but we’ll see where things stand when they release their final injury report later in the day. It’s possible the Bengals are taking it easy on Brown ahead of a pivotal Week 18 matchup, but we’ll have some clarity on that soon.

    Bengals OC Dan Pitcher said they are hopeful Chase Brown (ankle) will be available for Week 18 against the Steelers.
    Brown suffered an ankle sprain in Saturday’s win over the Broncos, but initial reports suggested the injury is not considered to be major. The Bengals are still in the thick of the AFC playoff race and need all hands on deck if they hope to win out and sneak into the postseason. Brown has seen nearly every running back opportunity for the Bengals since Week 9. If Brown can’t go, Khalil Herbert, who was acquired at the deadline but quickly became a forgotten man in the Bengals offense, would be in line to start. Herbert rushed four times for 23 yards against the Broncos in relief of Brown in Week 17.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Chase Brown’s ankle injury is not considered major and he has a chance to play in Week 18 against the Steelers.
    Brown sprained his ankle while sliding to the ground at the one-yard line late in the Bengals’ Week 17 win over the Broncos. He was going down to set up a game-winning field goal, only for the Bengals to punch it in with Joe Burrow on the next play. Brown remained on the field for a while before being helped off by trainers. What looked to be a potentially catastrophic injury at the time now seems much less serious. Khalil Herbert would draw the start with Brown sidelined. With the Bengals still in the playoff hunt, expect Brown to do everything he can to get back out there for Week 18 versus the Steelers.

    Khalil Herbert has yet to touch the ball through two games as a Bengal.
    Pro Football Focus charted Herbert as playing only four snaps in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. So much for Herbert being ready for more work after getting the Bengals’ “mini bye” to catch up on the system. Herbert has contingency value behind Chase Brown, but not the kind that is worth a roster spot during the sprint to the fantasy playoffs.
  • FA Running Back #5
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Bengals are hosting free agent RB Leonard Fournette for a workout.
    Fournette’s missed almost two full years of regular season football. The veteran running back joined the Bills’ practice squad in October of last season but played in only two games. He rushed 12 times for 40 scoreless yards in those games and was not in training camp this offseason. The Colts met with Fournette before the start of the season but opted against signing him. The Bengals placed Zack Moss (neck) on injured reserve last week, and made a deadline trade with the Bears to acquire Khalil Herbert. Clearly still interested in upgrading their backfield, they’ll see if Fournette can find a way to fit on the roster, should they opt to sign him.

    Khalil Herbert was held without an official touch in the Bengals’ Week 10 loss to the Ravens.
    We say “official” because Herbert actually took a hand-off. He simply fumbled it, with the miscue going on Joe Burrow’s record. It made for a calamitous Bengals debut, but one they probably won’t hold against him for Week 11 against the Chargers. They badly need help behind Chase Brown, and Herbert will be far more acclimated to the system by next Sunday. He is still a dubious bench stash in 12-team re-draft leagues.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Bengals RB Khalil Herbert is expected to play in Week 10 against the Ravens.
    Herbert suiting up shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but how much he plays is the real question. The Bengals leaned heavily on Chase Brown in Week 9’s win over the Raiders and will continue to use him as the lead back on Thursday night, but there’s no telling how much of Brown’s workload Herbert could eat into in his Bengals’ debut. We wouldn’t expect much out of him this week, but his usage will be something to monitor for fantasy managers who may want to start him in Week 11 against the Chargers.
