PodcastWeek 5 Fantasy Football RB & QB Rankings: Must-Starts, Risky Plays & Top Stream...October 7, 2026

From the episode

12 slot snaps for Chase Brown last week. That was a career high. So they are using him more as a slot receiver and not just a traditional running back.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Brown's slot usage and high volume make him a top-tier RB play this week.

Chase Brown is a high-upside play due to his 19.8 touches per game average and a significant role shift; he recorded a career-high 12 slot snaps last week, functioning more like a receiver than a traditional back. With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins potentially out, Brown is positioned for a massive workload against a Dolphins defense that allows the third-most fantasy points to running backs.
