Last night was the first Bengals game I watched from start to finish. I came away unimpressed with Brown. I do have a speculative share of him in a keeper league.
As a receiver, he seems to always go down at first contact. A couple 1-on-1 situations with a CB/safety and couldn't evade them.
It's harder to evaluate him as a runner from one's couch. The fumble was awful, in terms of how he had the ball secured. While I don't doubt his speed, it's hard to see it running between the tackles. The eye test is perilous, but Tyrone Tracy for the Giants looked to have burst through the hole, while Brown did not.
Moss also had a bad fumble and doesn't look like anything more than a JAG, so Brown at least should have playing time in front of him.
Curious if others saw what I saw last night.
