I like Chase Brown and the RB from Indy, both both are more speed backs than power up the middle backs.

GO BENGALS....Back To Super Bowl

Tyjae Spears  5'11" 195lbs and
Kyren Williams 5'9" 202lbs lead the NFL last year on conversion percentage on 3/4th and short (1 to 2 yds) at 90 and 89%. You don't need to be a big bruiser to convert on short yardage. Vision and burst are just as important...but blocking is the biggest factor in that. That's where the Bengals fall short (pun intended).
