CINCINNATI — PFF's Trevor Sikkema ranked all 32 NFL running back rooms this week and he's not loving what Zack Moss and Chase Brown are bringing to the table.

The room checked in at No. 30 overall.

"The Bengals signed Zack Moss this offseason to replace Joe Mixon, who the team traded to the Texans," Sikkema wrote."Moss has recorded steady rushing grades in the 70.0s in each of his four seasons with a healthy yards per carry average right around 4.0. Cincinnati also has Chase Brown, their fifth-round pick from 2023, to bring some added speed to the backfield. Brown had a tough rookie season, recording a 59.0 rushing grade."

That duo, plus whoever wins the third-string job, can prove they aren't a basement-dwelling unit starting in September. Cincinnati was arguably the worst rushing team in the NFL last season (89.8 yards per game, 32nd, four yards per carry, 22nd).
