STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Chase Brown is a strong trade target with elite upside once backup competition clears.

Chase Brown is a strong trade target despite historical carry-share volatility with Cincinnati. In weeks 6–8 last year after a slow start, Brown received 32 carries vs. Samaje Pirine's 22 over that span, establishing a 60-40 split pattern. The Bengals have consistently split carries more evenly than fantasy managers prefer, but Brown's upside emerges when backup competition is removed; he was ineffective until Zach Moss got hurt, then became one of the best fantasy running backs, and again struggled until Pirine's injury before becoming elite. With Pirine sidelined, Brown is positioned for a breakout similar to his late-season surge.
