The Cincinnati Bengals are on the road in Week 6 to visit the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Though the Bengals have been struggling to win games, the offense has been one of the best in the league.
The passing game led by Joe Burrow has been electric, and fantasy football managers have gotten some solid production from running backs Zack Moss and Chase Brown.
Despite the split backfield, both Moss and Brown have been solid RB3 options for managers between bye weeks and injuries around the league.
With an intriguing matchup coming up against the Giants defense coming up, we're diving into the start/sit advice for Moss and Brown right here.
Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Zack Moss
Moss has been a solid RB3 for fantasy purposes this season with three top-24 finishes in five games this season.
He still has the lead role in the backfield over Brown having played at least 60% of the snaps in every game this season. He did see a season-low nine carries in Week 5, but that was partially due to an ankle injury he suffered late in the game.
Moss wasn't given an injury designation so he shouldn't be limited by the ankle scare. Though he has seen his running back rush share decrease over the last three weeks, he has logged at least a 10% target share in all but one game this season.
The Giants defense has been solid against the run, but they'll be without Kayvon Thibodeaux, and the Bengals offense has been thriving.
There are higher upside options, but Moss is a solid RB3/flex for those who need it.
Verdict: Start 'Em
Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Chase Brown
Despite being questionable on the injury report after a quad injury added him to the list this week, he's expected to play on Sunday night.
Brown has been coming along in a much bigger role over the last few weeks. He's finished as RB6 and RB13 in Weeks 4 and 5, respectively, and he's had 33 opportunities combined during that span.
Brown has proven to be the more explosive option in the backfield over Moss and with an expected increase in workload as he's seen over the last few weeks, the former is a stronger option with higher upside.
This could be a competitive game so Brown should get plenty of opportunities and can be viewed as a solid fringe RB2 option.
Verdict: Start 'Em
