Three Running Backs Cincinnati Bengals Should Target at Trade Deadline
CINCINNATI — The Bengals play the 49ers on Sunday in Santa Clara. They're hoping to win their third-straight game after starting slow for a second consecutive season.
Cincinnati placed rookie running back Chase Brown on injured reserve on Saturday with a hamstring injury. He's out for at least the next four games.
The Bengals play the 49ers, Bills, Texans and Ravens over the next month. They're 0-3 against the AFC. Finding a way to go at least 3-1 during that stretch is crucial.
Adding running back help should be at the top of their priority list. Joe Mixon can still be an effective player, but they need another option in the backfield.
Guys like Dalvin Cook, AJ Dillon, Cordarrelle Patterson and Antonio Gibson are realistic options if the Bengals want to make a deal. Former Pro Bowler Leonard Fournette is still a free agent. He's also a realistic option.
What players are unrealistic? Are there any players that they could target that would give their offense the boost it needs down the stretch?
Here are three running backs that could fit that description. The Bengals should inquire about these guys, even if it costs them a valuable draft pick in the 2024 NFL Draft:
Austin Ekeler
Rhamondre Stevenson
Derrick Henry
