If Joe Burrow is healthy and the offense clicks, Chase Brown projects to 15-17 points per game, with upside to top-five RB status if he increases rushing touchdowns from 5-6 to 10-12.PositiveBreakoutJun 25, 2026
Chase Brown finished RB7 in points per game from week 7 onward last season and fifth in expected fantasy points per game overall; he averaged nearly 1,400 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back seasons and was RB3 from weeks 13–17 over 20 half-PPR points per game. In a Joe Burrow-led offense with bell-cow usage and minimal competition (Samaj Perine was a one-B back), Brown is positioned to smash in 2026 on his final rookie contract year.
