Podcast1144: Mailbag - Chase Brown's Usage, Mobile Quarterbacks, and MoreOctober 16, 2026

From the episode

He had 10 touchdowns from week six onward last year. He has one touchdown this season. That's going to change the fantasy conversation... he may not be a high-end RB1 like he was down the stretch last year. But I still think Chase Brown can live in that high-end RB2, low-end RB1 range.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

One TD this year vs. 10 last year; expect RB2 floor, not RB1 ceiling.

Brown has one touchdown this season versus 10 from week six onward last year, a significant decline that will dampen fantasy production. JJ Zachariason expects his ground-game workload to drop slightly moving forward, though receiving work should persist. Brown may not reach high-end RB1 status like last year's stretch but should remain in the high-end RB2 to low-end RB1 range once the Bengals return from their bye.
