Chase Brown Being Used Across the Formation

Wednesday, August 5, 6:39 AM

Through the early stages of training camp, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pritcher has already dug into the deepest corners of the team's playbook, and a player seemingly at the center of everything has been running back Chase Brown. The fourth-year back has been moved all across the formation, with The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. pointing out, "Brown lines up in the slot and runs a slant one play, then takes a jet sweep the next. He's part of 20 personnel with two running backs, motions into the backfield, behind a fullback and almost any other spot imaginable." While the inclusion of some lesser used plays has led to expected inconsistencies from the offense as whole, Browns usage has been one of the most encouraging signs to come out of Bengals camp, and he could be in line for a massive workload in 2026.

Jadarian Price Working Toward Early-Down Role

Saturday, August 1, 10:34 AM

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price has been splitting first-team work with George Holani, but their roles are starting to look different. According to Zain Dhanani, Price is expected to handle the regular early-down work, while Holani specializes on third downs and in two-minute situations. Emanuel Wilson has generally worked with the second unit. That is a useful opening for Price with Zach Charbonnet still on the PUP list following ACL surgery. Seattle selected the 5-foot-11, 209-pound back 32nd overall after he rushed 113 times for 674 yards and 11 touchdowns at Notre Dame last season. Price's first-round investment and current usage put him in line for meaningful carries if this arrangement holds. Holani's passing-down role could make Price more dependent on rushing volume and scoring chances, and Charbonnet's recovery remains an important unknown. Still, Price has the clearest path to early-down fantasy value among Seattle's healthy backs right now.
