From the episode

Chase Brown, who is going at running back number nine... His yards per rush, his explosive play rate, his success rate, all increase on plays under center versus the shotgun... 88 targets last year for Chase Brown... the floor is insane.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

RB9 ADP bargain with elite receiving floor and under-center volume upside.

Dan Williamson highlights Chase Brown as a running back nine ADP bargain. Brown's yards per rush, explosive play rate, and success rate all increase on plays under center versus shotgun, and Cincinnati wants to run more under center (they ranked 29th in under-center usage last year). Eric All's return as a fullback/tight end blocker will support the run game. Brown's elite receiving floor (88 targets in 2024, including a three-touchdown receiving game) provides PPR value even if Samaj P. Ryan continues to take 40% of snaps. Jim Coventry emphasizes Brown gets free yards due to defenses' need to respect Burrow and Higgins, forcing them to play back.
