Yahoo Sports NFL on Chase Brown

Brown's 22.3 PPG average last year supports holding despite Perine split.

Brown continued splitting reps with Samaje Perine in the Bengals' preseason opener, mirroring the split from the second half of the 2025 season. Brown saw nine snaps to Perine's four and logged five carries to Perine's one, but did not see a target in the passing game while Perine was targeted twice. The source notes this split wasn't an issue for Brown last year when Perine was healthy from Week 13 onward; Brown averaged 22.3 points per game over that stretch. The source concludes this is something to watch but not a strong enough reason to fade Brown just yet.
