Bench Chase Brown as Cincinnati's Shotgun Heavy Scheme Completely Derails His Value

Chase Brown has struggled mightily all season as Cincinnati shifts toward shotgun formations that sap his running momentum and restrict backfield efficiency. Veteran backup Samaje Perine continues to poach valuable work because his skill set fits the team's current scheme much better. With Brown failing to match his past scrimmage production and facing a stagnant role in a contract year, managers must strongly consider pivoting away from him in starting lineups.
