PodcastNFL Week 7 Preview: Major QB Changes, Running Back Returns & Games That Could C...October 23, 2026

From the episode

I want to sort of like preach patience with Chase Brown because of the Bengals first five opponents, I think four of them are top eight in DVOA against the run... But it seems like they are sort of scrapping that in real time... they're going to more shotgun.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Brown faces tough run defenses, but Bengals' shift to shotgun may further limit his role.

Chase Brown's production has been disappointing through five games, but the source notes the Bengals faced four of the top eight run defenses in DVOA; however, there is concern that the Bengals may be scrapping their under-center rushing plans in favor of more shotgun looks, which could limit Brown's opportunities if the team believes Samaj Perine is a better runner out of shotgun.
