The NFL season is officially back and the Cincinnati Bengals have completed another offseason in Cincinnati.
After free agency and the NFL Draft, the Bengals’ roster for the 2024 season seems to be set.
One position group that will look very different next year is the running backs.
Former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew has released his RB Power Rankings and is currently not particularly enthusiastic about the Bengals’ running backs.
The Bengals will be without Joe Mixon for the first time in a long time and have brought in Zack Moss from the Colts as part of this change.
Jones-Drew ranks Zack Moss at the bottom of the list at 31st (out of 32 teams) and explains why.
Moss set career highs with 210 touches, 986 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games last season with the Colts. He did an admirable job filling in for Jonathan Taylor, who was sidelined by injury. Now Moss has a chance to prove himself as a true RB1 in Cincinnati. The Bengals’ offense, however, runs through Joe Burrow and the passing attack. That could open up new avenues for Moss, but it’s about the quantity.
Jones-Drew did not list Bengals second-year player Chase Brown, and it has been clear throughout training camp that Brown will be used in many situations.
