Chase Brown

PositiveProjection0:00

The source projects top-three upside from Chase Brown based on his production and role security. He averaged 16+ PPG in weeks 13–18 with 69 catches, demonstrating RB2 production with significant upside. Despite Samaje Perine's return in weeks 13–18, Chase Brown maintained 60.5% snap share as the clear lead back, showing role durability even with competition present. Joe Burrow has been top-13 in check-down rate in three of five seasons in close games (within three points), indicating Chase Brown's passing-game usage and check-down volume will remain consistent even when the Bengals are not trailing, supporting his receiving upside and making him a safe round-one pick with league-winner potential.

0:00Chase Brown, really a strong pick.
0:02>> I'm just I'm all in on him this year and
0:04I see top three type of upside from him,
0:07Theo, because that's how he's produced
0:09in various iterations of the seasons
0:11previously and everybody wants
0:13to interject into the conversation,
0:15well, yeah, but what about Samaje
0:16Perine? Okay, what about Samaje Perine?
0:18So, in weeks
0:2013 through 18, when Samaje Perine was
0:22back, Chase Brown still played 60.5% of
0:25the snaps, so still the clear back.
0:27During that same stretch,
0:30weeks 13 through 18, Chase Brown was the
0:32RB2 in fantasy points per game. I've got
0:35him as a round one guy and I'm willing
0:37to take him there if I have to in
0:39various formats. Then I saw it on
0:41Twitter and I kind of pushed back
0:42against this yesterday and it was like,
0:44yeah, but if the defense has improved,
0:45then Chase Brown's not going to get all
0:46these check downs. So, in games within
0:49three points on the board for
0:51Cincinnati, [music] Joe Burrow has been
0:52top 13 in three of those five seasons in
0:55check down rate. So, sure, like
0:58they've done more check downs if the
1:00Bengals have been been trailing. That
1:02that's intuitive. I get that common
1:04sense, but that doesn't mean that Joe
1:05Burrow goes away from the check downs
1:07and using Chase Brown in the passing
1:08game even when the score is close, Theo.
1:11>> Chase Brown averaged 16 plus points per
1:13game last year. He had 69 catches.
1:17Um, there's a lot to like there. He's a
1:19super safe pick at the running back
1:21position and he has upside. If you walk
1:24out of your draft with wide receiver
1:26Chase Brown as your start or another
1:29running back other than Chase Brown,
1:30you're feeling really good about where
1:31you're at structure-wise.
