A-tier bellcow with 20+ PPG floor; mispriced at 2-3 turn on ESPN/Sleeper

Chase BrownRB

Chase Brown is an A-tier round 2 RB with a full-blown bellcow workload (entire early-down role with only Sam Hubbard siphoning off a few third-down snaps) and elite floor/ceiling. He averaged 21 fantasy points per game in games where Joe Burrow started and finished, and 20.1 PPG in other games with normal workload since week 9 of 2024—consistently 20+ PPG regardless of scenario, projecting as a high-end RB1. He ranks top five in route participation rate and targets per game (5+ targets per game), securing goal-line and passing-down work, and became the third most common RB on ESPN championship-winning rosters. The Bengals are the second-highest scoring offense in football behind the Rams in implied points per game, amplifying his ceiling. However, his touchdown upside may be capped because Joe Burrow is projected to push for 40 touchdowns this season, and Cincinnati has been the second-most pass-heavy team in the red zone over the last two seasons, limiting goal-line TD opportunities. Despite this, his floor is exceptional. Colton Miller views Brown as one of Fantasy Points' highest-ranked players and a potential hero RB candidate. Brown is going as late as the 2-3 turn on ESPN and Sleeper, which Miller considers ridiculous given his workload and consistent floor; he's a top target in early round two and the second-best back on the tier list. Sharp ADP in FFPC/NFC sits at 15-16 overall.

Source transcript excerpt
Chase Brown is the A tier player that we should talk through next... Brown basically has a fullblown Bellcow workload ahead of him... He should be a full-blown Bellcow again this season... I feel really good about him finishing like top 12, top eight in fantasy points per game... Chase Brown top five in route participation rate uh and targets per game, over five targets per game last year... He gets the goal line work. He gets the passing down role... he became the third most common running back on ESPN championship winning rosters... I think it's ridiculous that he goes as late as the two three turn on a lot of these sites like ESPN and Sleeper... That's like going to be one of my biggest targets there at the end of round two.
