Chase Brown

23-Year-Old Running BackRB
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brown should be taken more seriously than the typical fifth-round pick after demonstrating an adept skill set as both a runner and receiver at Illinois, along with strong athletic testing at the combine. Brown (5-10, 209) isn't built for a workhorse role in the NFL, but he has the long speed (4.43 40) and short-area burst (127-inch broad jump) to pose an explosive threat as a runner and receiver. The last two years he rushed for 2,648 yards (5.3 YPC) and 15 touchdowns and caught 41 of 49 targets for 382 yards and three touchdowns (83.7 percent catch rate, 7.8 YPT) in 22 games for Illinois. The Bengals let Samaje Perine walk, and Brown is faster and more skilled than both Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans. With Joe Mixon seemingly tempting league disciplinary scrutiny with a pair of bizarre off-field events, Brown could be closer to the field than most assume. Read Past Outlooks

Gets first NFL carry

September 19, 2023
Brown played one offensive snap in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and had one carry for two yards.
ANALYSIS
Brown also played seven snaps on special teams. He was active after sitting out the Week 1 loss to the Browns thanks to Chris Evans (hamstring) being sidelined, but Brown is also currently behind Trayveon Williams in the pecking order at running back.
