Brown has RB1 upside and should be drafted in first round, not second.
Chase BrownRB
Brady Auer believes Chase Brown belongs at the end of the first round despite being drafted in the middle to late second round. Brown has legitimate overall RB1 upside this season after emerging as Cincinnati's clear lead back in one of the NFL's most explosive offenses; he has the workload, receiving ability, and touchdown potential to finish as the top fantasy running back. Auer would rather draft Brown than Saquon Barkley, De'Von Achane, James Cook, or Ashton Jeanty, all of whom are being selected earlier.
