Chase Brown - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Primed for increased role Brown is looking forward to an elevated role in the Bengals offense in 2026, Landon Belote of SI.com reports.

Impact In particular, Brown cited the scheme's efficiency while running the ball under center and also how much he's been lining up in the slot in the passing game during training camp. After earning just 58 touches as a fifth-round rookie in 2023, his usage increased to 283 touches in 2024 and 301 touches last season. In 17 regular-games in 2025, he matched or set career highs across the board, tallying 1,456 yards from scrimmage and 11 total TDs. Considering Brown was one of seven RBs with at least 50 receptions last year (69, to be exact), his stature in fantasy has never been higher.

Still growing as a pass catcher Brown has been taking some reps out wide at practice, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.

Impact Bengals QB Joe Burrow said Brown has improved his pass-catching skills since last year. Already known as one of the league's better receiving backs, Brown has mostly been used on dump-offs and screens but may be able to exploit slower linebackers on other routes. Either way, he appears set for large workloads and plenty of catches, after the Bengals failed to improve their backup RBs this offseason. Samaje Perine seemingly remains second on the depth chart.

Heads into contract year As Brown approaches the final year of his rookie contract, he remains the Bengals' clear-cut top option at running back, John Sheeran of https://atozsports.com reports.

Impact Per Ben Baby of ESPN, Brown previously expressed his desire to remain with the team that drafted him in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and earlier this offseason the 26-year-old was in communication with the Bengals regarding an extension. Brown is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he carried 232 times for 1,016 yards and six TDs in 17 regular season contests and was sixth among all NFL running backs with 437 receiving yards, while adding five aerial TDs among his 69 catches. Looking ahead, Brown is poised to maintain steady weekly volume (and in turn fantasy production) in 2026. Meanwhile Samaje Perine is set to reprise his role as Brown's top backup, though 2025 sixth-rounder Tahj Brooks could see an uptick in complementary touches after recording just 16 carries as a rookie. Also in Cincinnati's backfield mix ahead of training camp are Gary Brightwell, Kendall Milton, Kentrel Bullock and Jamal Haynes.
