From the video
he handled 91% of the carries which led all running backs... he was the RB7 in team target share. He was the RB2 in receptions per game and he was the RB2 in receiving yards per game... he's not going to play third downs... he's kind of taking over that mix and roll... running backs get more targets on early downs than you do as the third down back.
STACKED’s take
High carry volume but receiving role limited; needs pass-game involvement to justify fantasy value.
Chase Brown handled 91% of the carries in Week 1 (led all running backs) and received 3 targets for a 14% target share despite the offense running only 49 plays. The source's offseason comp was 'Kron Williams with receptions,' emphasizing that his fantasy value depends on receiving involvement. During his 2024 starter run after Zack Moss went down, Brown was RB7 in team target share, RB2 in receptions per game, and RB2 in receiving yards per game—production that elevated his fantasy standing. However, the source notes he's not playing third downs and is taking over pass-catching duties in the mix and roll, which removes route participation and chips away at his ceiling since he's inefficient per touch and needs that receiving volume to be viable. The Jaguars allowed significant backfield production last year and gave up a touchdown to Chuba Hubbard in Week 1, creating opportunity for Brown if the Bengals lean run and he maintains receiving volume.
