Last year was Brown's first as the unquestioned starter for the Bengals. He ranked inside the top 12 in every opportunity metric, from overall rush rate (65% - 11th) to target share (15% - 6th). Plus, the former Illini held on to the lead job at the goal line, out-touching Samaje Perine 2:1 when Joe Burrow was active.

Brown projects as top-5 RB with elite opportunity metrics and under-center upside.

Chris Allen projects Chase Brown to finish inside the top 5 at RB in 2026. Last year was Brown's first as the unquestioned Bengals starter; he ranked inside the top 12 in every opportunity metric: 65% rush rate (11th), 15% target share (6th), and held the goal-line lead job, out-touching Samaje Perine 2:1 when Joe Burrow was active. His per-touch stats were ahead of some first-round RB darlings and just behind the elites. As one of nine rushers with 60%+ of team carries and double-digit target rate, Brown has the talent-plus-situation equation locked. With under-center concepts potentially giving Brown more advantageous looks at the LOS and defensive additions reducing Burrow's burden, Brown vaults into the top-five RB ranks.
