Outlook Chase Brown
Ascending Dual-Threat Workhorse Set for Elite RB1 Production
Chase Brown enters 2026 firmly entrenched as Cincinnati's lead back ahead of Samaje Perine. Recent training camp reports highlight the Bengals deploying him all over the formation, including snaps in the slot. With Joe Burrow commanding an elite passing attack, Brown is set to maintain a true three-down role with explosive dual-threat versatility.
Coming off a massive 2025 campaign where he totaled 251 carries and 71 receptions, Brown possesses a dependable volume floor. Our models project another standout season, forecasting 1,075 rushing yards, 54 catches, and 12 total touchdowns for 280.0 fantasy points in full PPR formats.
Brown's draft momentum has climbed steadily from an 18 ADP in late July to 14, cementing him as an early second-round anchor. Even with rising market hype, our projections validate his draft price as a top-tier fantasy asset who offers high-end RB1 output.

Outlook Jadarian Price
Rookie First-Rounder Poised for Lead Backfield Workload in Seattle
Selected in the first round, Jadarian Price quickly emerged as Seattle's primary running back entering his rookie campaign. With Zach Charbonnet sidelined on the PUP list to start the season, Price has taken full advantage of first-team reps. Despite briefly dealing with minor leg soreness in camp, he has already returned to practice and drawn high praise from head coach Mike Macdonald.
Our projections forecast an immediate heavy role, slotting Price for 210 carries, 875 rushing yards, and seven touchdowns, alongside 25 receptions for 185 yards. Operating ahead of depth options like George Holani, his dynamic open-field vision and pass-catching ability give him weekly RB2 upside in Seattle's offense.
Fantasy drafters have taken notice, driving his ADP up from 73 into the early 60s over the past month. Even with that rising draft cost, our projections view him as an appealing middle-round target in 1.0 PPR leagues who could easily outperform his price tag if he secures the goal-line work.
