Chase Brown

NegativeBust0:00

The source identifies Chase Brown as an easy fade in early drafts, noting that his current FFPC ADP—which has him going ahead of elite options like CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson—is unjustifiable. Despite his 16.5 points per game and 14% advance rate last year, the source argues he was not a great pick at the 2-3 turn and carries significant 'silent killer' risk in the first round, as he could easily regress from his 22-touchdown performance.

0:00Chase Brown is the guy I came away from
0:02writing him up
0:04being like, well, this is an easy fade.
0:06Like in the first round, you take Chase
0:08Brown is is now going ahead of CeeDee
0:10Lamb and and Justin Jefferson in FFPC. I
0:14I couldn't
0:15>> Yeah.
0:15>> I I couldn't do that. Yeah, it's
0:18he he is just it's like to get him to
0:21the legendary
0:22output, it's like, well, he has career
0:25efficiency as a runner and receiver. Uh
0:28they throw to him even more than they
0:29did last year when when it was already a
0:31pretty big spike. He scores 22
0:34touchdowns, like the most by a running
0:35back since like 2006. Like he's
0:37it's like and and and and
0:40and, you know, it just felt like, holy
0:42crap. And then he, you know, he had he
0:46he had 16 something points per game last
0:49year, 16 and a half, something like
0:50that.
0:52And he was uh around like an ADP of the
0:55two-three turn, like the 23.5, something
0:58like that.
0:59He had a 14% advance rate.
1:01He was just like not actually a great
1:03pick. And
1:04>> Yeah.
1:05>> I think he could he could pretty easily
1:06score fewer points than he did last
1:08year, even if he scores the same amount
1:09as he did last year, which
1:11like
1:12is not a lock by any means, then he he
1:15has like just a ton of silent killer
1:17potential in the first round. He's I
1:19think he's very much just like,
1:20you know, he's the he's like the 208
1:23going at the 108 kind of thing, or the
1:24210 going at the 110, whatever whatever
1:27you want to say, but it's
1:29uh that that one I felt like, cuz Cook
1:31scares me as as someone I'm not taking a
1:33ton of. I can totally see how that does
1:35not work out for me as a fader. Chase
1:37Brown was the one where I was like,
1:38obviously guys can have career years and
1:41surprise you, but it did
1:43it did feel a little cleaner as a fade
1:46stance, for sure.
