Chase Brown's Lack of Receiving is Holding Him Back in 2026

Friday, October 2, 2:51 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has gotten off to a slow start to the 2026 season despite heavy usage. In three games, Brown has 49 carries for 197 yards and a touchdown, plus 10 receptions for 32 yards, averaging 11.3 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Brown has played 70% of the snaps so far this season, which ranks among the best among NFL running backs. However, his receiving role hasn't been as much of a factor, averaging just 10.7 yards per game through the air. He's relying more on his rushing ability, but that could be hard to come by in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which allowed the fewest fantasy points in 2025 and has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards so far this season. While Brown is likely to bounce back, his receiving role will need to improve for him to be the low-end RB1 fantasy managers drafted him to be.

Omarion Hampton a Risky RB2 in Week 4 vs. Seahawks

Saturday, October 3, 5:14 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is coming off his worst performance of the 2026 season. The 23-year-old had less than a 50% snap share, produced 5.6 PPR points, and finished as the RB40 for the week. Gloomy skies remain for Hampton as he heads to Seattle to face the reigning Super Bowl champions. The Seahawks' defense hasn't allowed a rushing touchdown, has allowed the third-fewest yards per carry, and has allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards through three games. As a result, Hampton enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR RB24 in a tough matchup. Hampton is a borderline RB2 this week and will likely need to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy managers. The young back has yet to live up to lofty offseason expectations as he heads into Week 4.
