Is the fantasy football hype around Chase Brown warranted? Let's investigate

The article discusses the rising fantasy football profile of Chase Brown for the 2025 season, marking him as a solid RB1 option. In 2024, Brown emerged as a top performer, especially valuable for zero-RB drafters, finishing as the RB12 overall. This success is attributed to his dominant role in the Bengals' offense, where he often handled over 90% of snaps. With Cincinnati retaining its core offensive players and minimal competition in the running back room, Brown’s role remains secure. Experts Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski highlight his three-down capability and suitability for different game scripts, labeling him a top pick for those using a "Hero RB" strategy. While some concerns exist regarding his pedigree and potential volume adjustments, Brown's opportunity and team trust make him an appealing choice.
