PositiveMatchupSep 12, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Chase Brown will be used in a variety of ways to get the ball in his hands. The Bengals would love to find ways to get him matched up against Josiah Trotter out in space as a receiver. Trotter was the Buccaneers' second-round draft pick and is a classic downhill thumper against the running game, but was susceptible to giving up big plays against him in the passing game at Missouri. If the Bengals can exploit that matchup this week, Chase Brown should have a massive week one game.

Chase Brown's receiving efficiency is a major concern despite high snap and route volume; he averaged under 7 yards per catch over the past two years and had terrible yards per target last year, suggesting his fantasy production has come from volume rather than efficiency. The source is skeptical he'll see significantly more passing volume despite speculation about a CMC-like role, noting he already received heavy targets last year without strong output. However, in Week 1 specifically against Tampa Bay's run defense, the source projects Brown will stack catches as the Bengals are forced into a quick passing game, unable to establish the run. The source suggests he's a tough round-one pick but could be viable in round two, with Week 1 DFS ceiling limited unless he scores a receiving touchdown.

Blake Corum looked damn good in Week 1, averaging 5.40 YPC, but Kyren Williams still earned all of the fantasy-lucrative volume 69.0% Route Share (20 total routes : 3 targets) - This would have been his 2nd-highest route share percentage in 2025 100% Snap Share Inside the 10-yard line - From Week 6 onward in 2025, Kyren averaged only a 57.1% snap share inside the 10-yard line Kyren, in turn, earned both rush attempts inside the 5-yard line, scoring on one of those attempts It was interesting...

Rams RBs last night: SNAPS: Kyren Williams 39, Blake Corum 14 ROUTES: Kyren 21, Corum 3 TOTAL OPPORTUNITIES: Kyren 14, Corum 10 RED-ZONE CARRIES: Kyren 4, Corum 0 Would expect it to look a little more even in games Rams are leading. But Kyren is a bet on high-value touches, and got them last night.

Ranked in A tier for Week 1 flex starts; steamed up to be a first-round pick by end of draft season; faces easy matchup against Tampa Bay Buccaneers (run and pass funnel) with Bengals' 27-point implied team total. Source will monitor third-down and high-value touch split with Samaje Perine, as Perine is one of the better passing-down backs in the NFL; if Brown loses high-value touches, source may rank him lower moving forward.

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.
