The Bengals are expanding Chase Brown‘s alignment across the formation, deploying him in motion and from the backfield much like Ja’Marr Chase. Armed with a 108.5 (89th-percentile) Speed Score and a 131.5 (94th-percentile) Burst Score, Brown offers the high-end athleticism needed to thrive in Joe Burrow‘s enhanced pre-snap motion scheme.

Brown is ranked as PlayerProfiler’s RB7 for 2026 fantasy football, just behind Cook and Barkley, but increased pass-game involvement secures Brown a clear path toward a top-5 PPR RB finish.
