Veiled⚡ thing I think we need to realize, no matter what your opinion of the Quentin Johnston pick is, having a QB like Justin Herbert throwing to him is going to elevate Johnston a whole lot more coming from a team that had Max Duggan behind center. That includes Johnston, who should provide star quarterback Justin Herbert with another downfield, big-play threat a la Mike Williams. So the arrow is pointing up in L.A., and the players should benefit under a new leader. Dallas was a respectable 17th in 2020 despite missing quarterback Dak Prescott for 11-plus games with a broken leg. The Cowboys finished sixth, first and fourth in scoring in 2019, 20, respectively, under Moore. The Chargers are under new offensive leadership, with Kellen Moore coming over from the Dallas Cowboys as the new offensive coordinator. He may be a Round 5 pick, but it's not impossible to see him becoming a surefire Round 1 fantasy selection in 2024. In sum, Brown is a big name to watch in fantasy. This ranked 35 out of 1745 RB from 1987 to 2023. He scored a 9.81 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. Kent Lee Platte Brown was drafted with pick 163 of round 5 in the 2023 draft class. He averaged just 3.5 yards per carry outside a monster game against the Carolina Panthers where he had 211 total yards and five scores. He has rushed for less than four yards per carry in two of the past three seasons, including 3.9 yards per carry in 2022. Mixon still sits ahead of him on the depth chart, but it's unclear for how long. But he is now in the middle of an incredible offense and should get his chances to produce soon enough. He's a good pass-catching back (27 receptions, 240 yards, three touchdowns) and an efficient runner who can produce in a limited capacity immediately.īrown does need to work on his pass protection, which he admitted in his introductory talk with Bengals reporters Saturday.
Fantasy football now free#
With Samaje Perine now a Denver Bronco after leaving in free agency, the door is open for Brown to take his spot behind Mixon and assume the mantle as RB1 in the near future.īrown was an every-down back at Illinois, accumulating 355 touches in 2022 and 653 overall during his four years there. The Bengals' starting running back of the future may be Illinois' Chase Brown, a Doak Walker Award finalist who amassed 1,883 yards from scrimmage and 13 scores last year.
