The Cincinnati Bengals will be hoping for a bounce back in 2024, both in real life and in fantasy football. After star quarterback Joe Burrow went down injured midway through the 2023 season, Jake Browning led the team to a respectable 9-8 record. However, this was only good enough for last in a competitive AFC North with the Steelers, Browns and Ravens all making it to the postseason.
Since then, the Bengals have shipped off key offensive pieces such as Joe Mixon and Tyler Boyd, leaving many to question who will be Cincinnati's top fantasy football assets in 2024.
Bengals’ top fantasy football assets in 2024
#5, Chase Brown, RB
Touted by some to become the Bengals' new starting back after the departure of Joe Mixon, Chase Brown could be a sneaky add to your fantasy team in 2024.
His ADP is currently at No. 116 overall, but in 2023 he ranked 12th in yards after contact per attempt, as well as 16th in missed tackles per attempt according to Fantasy Points Data. If he can eat into Zack Moss' workload expect to see him win some fantasy leagues.
#4, Zack Moss, RB
Brown may have to play second-fiddle to the newly acquired Zack Moss, at least to begin the year. Moss was excellent filling in for the injured Jonathan Taylor as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, so much so the Bengals signed him to presumably lead their backfield in 2024.
Moss' current ADP is No. 82 overall, and despite Chase Brown taking some touches away, he should still be an early-down back for one of the NFL's best offenses.
#3, Tee Higgins, WR
Tee Higgins may have requested a trade this offseason, but since being franchise-tagged by the Bengals, he's due to return to the team for 2024. Like Joe Burrow, Higgins had an injury-hit 2023 season which saw him finish at WR51 in PPR scoring behind the likes of Darius Slayton and Curtis Samuel.
After 2023 some have forgotten just how good Higgins can be in this offense and despite dwindling fantasy numbers in each of his last three seasons, he can still be a contributing factor opposite Ja'Marr Chase.
#2, Joe Burrow, QB
Joe Burrow became the highest-paid player in NFL history before the 2023 season kicked off after signing a five-year, $275 million contract extension.
However, during training camp, he suffered a right calf strain. Despite being healthy to start the season, Burrow wasn't his usual self and was ruled out for the year after a torn wrist ligament injury in Week 11.
His fantasy football ADP is No. 59 overall, and he's being taken around the same position as C.J. Stroud and Dak Prescott. While there's no doubting his talent versus those guys, his durability concerns may put some off drafting the newly bleach-blonde quarterback.
#1, Ja'Marr Chase, WR
Undoubtedly the best fantasy football asset on the Cincinnati Bengals' roster is superstar wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
Even with injuries to Burrow and Higgins stifling the offense in 2023, Chase still ended the year as WR11 in PPR scoring, racking up 1,216 yards and seven touchdowns on 100 receptions.
With his star QB back, as well as his WR2 to take some looks away, expect Chase to be among the top receivers in fantasy football in 2024. Most agree, too, as his ADP is No. 5 overall, with most seeing him as a top 3/4 receiver.
