Negative signalUsage

Brown's rushing inconsistent (39 yards on 13 carries vs. Miami); role may shrink.

Brown has struggled with consistency in the running game this season; after 20 carries for 80 yards against Houston and 13 carries for 61 yards in Pittsburgh, he managed only 9 carries for 10 yards against Jacksonville in Week 4, and 13 carries for 39 yards against Miami. However, the source notes Brown remains valuable as a receiving threat, hauling in 3 receptions for 21 yards against the Dolphins, including a play-action reception where he made a defender miss for a first down. The source suggests a 60-40 carry split with Perine going forward, implying reduced volume for Brown.
