From the episode
Chase Brown on the other side of that game. I think also makes sense just because Joe Burrow coming into the week banged up. Um, the Bengals could also just decide to lean on the run game a little bit more. Uh, Brown's workload was just as amazing as we expected it to be last week.
STACKED’s take
Brown's workload is strong, but Burrow's injury may negate his historical passing-game edge.
Brown's workload last week was as strong as expected, though his DraftKings points relative to other running backs on the slate were not elite. He carries high value at his price point. However, the source raises a strategic concern: Brown's historical success with Joe Burrow may be partially due to defenses having to respect Burrow's passing ability, not just the run game. With Burrow banged up heading into Week 2, the Bengals may lean on the run more, but this could also mean Houston's defense can focus more on stopping the run, potentially negating the benefit of increased volume. At 6% ownership, the workload appeal is real, but the game environment against Houston's strong defense is concerning.
