STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Brown's snap share down to 60%, Pirine getting work; downgraded to RB2.

Chase Brown's snap share dropped to season-low 60% in Week 5, and Samadji Pirine out-snapped him 22-17 after Brown's fumble in Q2. Among RBs with 50+ rushes, Brown ranks bottom 10 in yards after contact per attempt. Bengals OC Dan Pitcher said the team is assessing touch distribution between Pirine and Brown. Matthew Berry acknowledges the legal/statistical reality but argues the real-world scenario is Cincinnati won't rely on 31-year-old Pirine for a playoff run; Brown is the most talented back and will be featured. Downgraded to RB2 bordering on flex, but viewed as a buy-low rather than panic sell.
