Checking back in - while the Chase Brown bet is not the same, it’s not a one-game fumble or even 5 game inefficiency that’s going to get these RBs benchedPositiveDepth ChartOct 19, 2026
Rams (vs Cardinals): Davante Adams got injured towards the end of the game and is out for 6-10 weeks - if you are a contender with him, just stash and hope he's closer to the 6 week window RBs - Kyren on passing downs, Corum more early-down work: Kyren Williams: 58% opp share, 56% route share, 100% of 2min RB snaps, 90% 3rd down snap share Kyren was the starter and had the entire RB role on his drives Blake Corum: 42% opp share, 17% route share, 0% of 2min RB snaps, 10% 3rd down snap share Co...PositiveUsageOct 13, 2026

Am I worried about Chase Brown? Only a small amount I am seeing the ultimate panic and I’d be buying He’s been ineffective on the ground overall and fumbled, but there’s a long track record here The team was in control of the game Feels like Week 4 D’Andre Swift situationPositiveUsageOct 12, 2026

Yesterday's @FFPC Main Event Draft out of the 4-hole Took some sliding value on Davante Adams Pulled up Chase Brown for structural and portolio reasonsPositiveNewsSep 5, 2026
Just so happens that @Ben_Baby cranked out an amazing piece featuring one of my flag plants this morning They will take Chase Brown off the field sometimes, but it’s rare to find a back that can do it all and the team believes in them to do it all Also, I-L-L 🏁PositiveNewsSep 5, 2026

Another fun season-long @Xfinity best projection (FP/G) I go back and forth on these 2 players weekly I have Kenneth Walker ranked higher because I feel good about the potential bellcow role, but realize there is the injury stigma I WISH Chase Brown didn't cede work to PerinePositiveValueAug 22, 2026
No one WANTS to draft Samaje Perine but it sounds like Tahj Brooks is on the roster bubble There’s really no other option if Chase Brown gets hurt and they’ve shown a willingness to use him in the run game (clearly in the pass too) via @BengalsTalkSIPositiveNewsAug 15, 2026
I-L-L Chase Brown next Eventually Pat Bryant too 😉PositiveUsageAug 14, 2026
I think it could be big that the Bengals ran 7 of 13 Burrow snaps under center (even without Erick All, who's suppose to help unlock more UC work) Chase Brown should benefit, though he was rotating with Perine more than I wanted It should help generate more explosives overallPositiveUsageAug 14, 2026
Quick Bengals notes: Did mix under center/UC play action - no Erick All so grain of salt Chase Brown: didn’t get the full bellcow snap share - did lineup wide once Samaje Perine clear RB2 Andrei Iosivas clear WR3 TE rotation (and All didn’t play)PositiveDepth ChartAug 13, 2026
Rams depth chart notes: No “or” for Blake Corum 4 starting TEs, though I think Ferguson has carved out a unique role per reports that is less similar to the other TEs Parkinson vs Higbee for in-line duties I don’t have a good feel for Uncertain if Davis Allen makes the rosterPositiveNewsAug 10, 2026
Chase Brown is going to be featured in a top offense if healthy He’s a solid receiving back and the team is going to go under center to generate more explosives for him in the run game (and probably better efficiency) He’s my RB5 this season Also shoutout to @JoeGoodberryPositiveNewsAug 9, 2026
Again talking about under-center work (and the hope that they can have explosive runs with Chase Brown) They want to create more diversity in their offense to protect Burrow a bit morePositiveNewsAug 7, 2026

I find this somewhat underrated since Chase Brown has had more Shotgun rush attempts in his career than under-centerPositiveNewsAug 7, 2026
Dan Pitcher emphasized that the Bengals had explosive rushes from under-center, which sounds like something they want to lean into more in 2026 based on reports Chase Brown explosive rush rate UC vs Shotgun: 2025 = 15.6% vs 6.4% Career = 12.6% vs 8.7% Dan Pitcher is rightPositiveUsageAug 6, 2026
Chase Brown is has been heavily involved in the pass game at training camp - should be the #3 target on the team at the very least Take: I have him ranked #9 overall in my rankings - I am very high on Chase Brown for this season. via @JakeLiscowPositiveNewsJul 31, 2026

OC Dan Pitcher on Chase Brown: Played himself into a role that deserves us featuring him in what we do Ja’Marr, Tee, & Chase Brown are guys they believe put them in positions to win games Take: Starting to feel like 2H25 was not an outlier if they feature him Via @CharlieG__PositiveNewsJul 30, 2026
Burrow also said this about Chase & Chase Brown: “..obviously we're going to try to get the ball in number one's hands as many times as we can, but I think a close second is Chase Brown just because of how explosive he is and the things that he can do with the ball in his hand.”PositiveNewsJul 30, 2026
Joe Burrow basically called Chase Brown an every down back who shouldn’t leave the field: "He does everything. He can protect. He trains as a receiver all off season and you wouldn't know he was a running back.. You don't have to take him off the field, you can build packages for him in different places." Take: I think what we saw in 2H25 is more of what we’re going to see in 2026 for CB (I-L-L)PositiveNewsJul 18, 2026
Another fantasy trope we fall into: RB doesn’t play much in Y1 Team drafts a rd 3+ rookie RB Fade RB in Y2 That would lead you away from Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, Chase Brown, James Conner, AJ Dillon, Ronald Jones, & Jerome Ford All of these guys were great values in Y2PositiveDepth ChartJul 17, 2026
On Chase Brown’s role now and potential extension: Writer calls him a centerpiece of what they do (signals similar workhorse role) Believes the Bengals franchise tag or work towards an extension
