RB Chase Brown, CIN (7 Viewers)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Pretty great night for the guy and honestly it could/should have been even bigger. It's clear he is the whole package and fully trusted on 3rd down in pass pro.

He is a league winner.

Looked electric in the open field.

Burrow looks his way on 2 key plays & he’s got a monster night. Well, monster-er.

I hated the fumble, but he's a keeper.......for now....

Chase Brown has now handled the Bengals' last 42 rushing attempts or targets by a running back.

He's stepped up in a massive way for a thin backfield.

The Bengals current highest-graded pass protector is Chase Brown.

He's a running back.

Second is Drew Sample.

He's a tight end.

Guess the reports this preseason that Brown worked on his receiving & protection were accurate.

I like Brown. He looked better last night than 13-42. That’s a surprising stat to me. 9-52 receiving isn’t bad, but it’s not great, either.

I’m a little surprised. He looked more effective than that.

I like him and am pleased as a 2x shareholder to see him progressing the way he has - but I felt like he showed minimal elusiveness in the open field. Maybe it was a few 'one off' type plays but particularly after a few of those little dumpoffs he caught, he was just instantly neutralized by the nearest defender. Loving the volume though and this was one of the tougher matchups I'm sure he'll face on paper the rest of the way though.

 

[Apple Juice]

Cincy's run blocking is terrible and has been for years. I've always felt like Mixon was undervalued because he got so few lanes or chances to get going without a defender in his face. To me what Brown is doing is even more surprising because it seems like Cincy's whole offense is built on the passing game and the RBs get hung out to dry.

 

[IHEARTFF]

He looks good. Seemed like Baltimore may have keyed too much on the wrong Chase though.

 

[travdogg]

I am not saying Chase Brown sucks BY ANY MEANS, but I still think selling high is the right thing to do here. He's coming off playing 2 bottom-5 defenses and hasn't been all that efficiency wise. I also don't see the receiving workload being a sign of things to come at all. If anything, he should be pass blocking more.

Now, I feel the need to clarify, sell high means actually sell high. Not just sell. I saw Chase Brown and Zach Ertz for George Kittle on Wednesday. That's in line with what I'm saying. Brown is an RB2 and should be treated as such, but I think someone believes he's an RB1 going forward, that's where selling high comes in.

Who saw them try to give the ball to someone else last night? Just wasn't meant to be I guess.

It’s not great? That’s PPR gold.

And context of doing what he did against a very good Ravens D, too.

The talk in here before the game was whether to bench him against them. I feel like that should be mentioned when looking at his find numbers.

To me it depends on your needs. Personally I need him more than I need to make a profit off of him.

He literally broke a guy’s ankle the 1 time he got the ball in space.

It's not a very good Ravens defense. It's quite poor, in fact. 24th in points, 27th in yards. They have a "top" rush D but they have the 2nd fewest rush attempts against despite not having a bye yet (and I think that includes having also played one more game than everyone else because of last night. But I'm not going to verify that).

As you point out 9-52 is great in a PPR fantasy league but IRL it is very mediocre. I think that is rockaction's point.

I like your FF takes, fun to read and, generally, very well considered but... let's be real you, like me have our guys and we commit to them. @travdogg may be right about selling high on Brown. The efficiency has been meh and they probably ended their season last night.

I hope my league mates read your post and offers me Brown in a trade.

FWIW after @travdogg suggested selling high I made an offer to the McCaffrey manager in my league for Brown & Jayden Reed.

Funny enough I have quietly been shopping Brown and Reed around in a package deal for a big dog too.

I am completely fine holding on to them though.

No he didn't. Hamilton stepped on Gesicki's foot and it started slipped. Hamilton was on the ground before Brown even made his first move.

Freeze this one at 14 seconds. His ankle is turned before Brown has even secured the catch.

I don’t get it. 100 APY & 9 catches. & a GL carry + TD. Is that not a RB1 for FF?

it’s weird seeing a player hit & everyone can’t wait to dump him.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Brown is 100% a plug and play, set and forget RB ROS. Don't overthink this people.

Not efficiency-wise it isn’t.

That’s all I’ve got for you. I’m sure you’re thrilled he’s ascended, but it’s not like it was ascending the K2. He beat out a career backup.

He looks quick and fast. He’s good. He’s not one of the top backs in the league yet.

Never said he was one of the top backs in the league.

Not once.

I’m thrilled with his production for what I paid. He’s the zero RB home run.

He took on a massive workload then 4 days later did it again. I wouldn’t expect that much efficiency.

What I said was he’s a FF RB1 with that production. Considering the Bengals quality of OL, I’m not judging Brown too harshly on his inefficiency.

Chase Brown has averged 23.5 fantasy points since the Zack Moss injury.

Snaps: 83%
Attempts: 92%
Routes: 66%
Targets: 17%
Utilization Score: 9.9 (out of 10)

Averaging 28 opportunities in a high-end offense is hard to beat. Could challenge for RB1 overall the rest of the way.

Right. I want 20 touches a game, not 20 touches a half like Josh Jacobs last weekend. That kind of stuff doesn't lead to longevity. I'm in dynasty, so that's what I'm looking for.

 

[TampaMike19]

This guy is 2023 3rd round rookie draft gold, man. Way out-performing Charbs who I regrettably took in the 1st lol

Continuity is key for this offense heading into 2025 so I can see Brown continuing to improve and have a solid role for 2025 as well. As a bellcow back though, I'm not too sure. I can see him being a 14-16 touch guy like Jaylen Warren plus

 

[RaidersAreOne]

So yeah, Chase Brown is an uber-stud.

So yeah, Chase Brown is an uber-stud.

Good game, he went in, got his points early....but kind of annoying, just seemed like they quit using him the 2nd half after being plenty efficient in the first.

Maybe it was just game script with the super offensive game that played out.

This dude's got a little bit of CMC to his game. Premier PPR baller.

4 of his last 5 games he's had at least 100+ from scrimmage, 5 targets, and 5 receptions.

Doesn’t hurt to play with one of the best QBs and wr duos in the league too. Brown is certainly making the most of his opportunity and it is silly to think Brown could’ve started the season hotter earlier

 

[BlackCrowes]

My only good trade of the season

I traded Jacobs for him.

However, it was due to being able to keep Brown next year.

Last night Troy Aikman on Chase Brown....."If you take away all his longest runs each game his ypc drops way down". No duh. I think you can say that for every player. Come on Aikman.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

So yeah, Chase Brown is an uber-stud.

If he’d caught that 40 yard TD pass he would have had an even bigger night.

Tight coverage, not the best throw, he still nearly made the play.

But the target was there - that’s the key point.
