Chase Brown 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
Chase Brown 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
I was a big Chase Brown fan coming out of Illinois last year. I appreciated his explosive traits and 4.43 speed while possessing the requisite size to be an NFL workhorse. His rookie season got off to a slow start, but he flashed big-play ability as his opportunities increased late in the season. Brown ended the season with only 44 carries but he averaged more than four yards per tote and caught 14 of his 15 targets. He ranked No. 12 among qualified running backs in yards after contact per attempt and No. 16 in missed tackles forced per attempt (FantasyPros). Brown was incredibly explosive with a 9.1% breakaway run rate. Only De’Von Achane broke a long run at a higher rate (PlayerProfiler). He was also top-12 in fantasy points per opportunity (0.91), per PlayerProfiler.
That all culminated in an RB10 finish in Week 14 when he totaled 105 yards and a touchdown against the Colts. He added three other top-36 finishes between Weeks 13-18. Remember, this was all done on limited touches, which could be a foreshadowing of what’s to come when he is in a much more significant role in 2024. In fact, Brown had just three games with 10 or more touches. He averaged 11.3 fantasy points in those three outings (FantasyPros).
2024 Outlook
Now, Brown is expected to see a greater opportunity in his second season. He will begin the year behind Zack Moss. Moss is coming off a productive year with the Colts where he had several boom performances in relief of Jonathan Taylor. However, Moss has never been “the guy” in an NFL offense outside of those spot starts. If he regresses back to his old ways or can’t handle being the every week workhorse, Chase Brown is next in line. That could be all it takes for Brown to become this year’s Kyren Williams. He has the athleticism, the receiving upside, plus plenty of touchdown scoring opportunity, in what should be an above average Bengals offense, to make it happen.
