Running Back · Cincinnati Bengals · Age 26 · Illinois · RB12 PPR (Week 4 2026)
Chase Brown is ranked RB12 (overall #12) for the Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
The opening schedule was rude to Brown, as he's faced the pass-funnel Bucs, stout Texans, and DL-loaded Steelers to start the season. Brown isn't as explosive as others in the fantasy RB1 mix, so getting positive matchups is more required here. The good news is Brown's role really hasn't changed. He's the RB11 in expected half PPR points, on RB10 receptions per game (3.3) and RB13 carries per game (16.3). There's nobody pushing him for real work in the backfield, and the Bengals offense has managed despite the opponents. There will be better days ahead for Brown. He's one of the most obvious buy low candidates right now. He'd still be a Round 2 selection if drafts were held today. This week's matchup is another difficult one, however, as the Jaguars have stars on the DL. They were the 3rd-best defense against fantasy RBs last season, and they've allowed just 58 rush yards per game to RBs this season (4th-best). The Bengals are still 4th in projected points (27.0), so Brown is still very live for 15+ touches and a score. This game has the highest total of the week at 51.5.
