Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB103 last season at 4.8 points per game.
Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
Brown's 2025 sample was tiny but eye-catching: 5 carries for 37 yards, a 7.4 average, a touchdown, and a 22-yard burst that accounted for one explosive run on 20% of his attempts. His 0.405 EPA per play and 4.6 yards after contact per attempt signal a back who creates when handed space, and he forced two missed tackles on five totes for a 40% elude rate. The catch: just two games, a 6.7% snap share, and one target.
The profile is intriguing, the path is not. Brown sits on Chicago's practice squad purely for depth, and at 27 he carries no real draft value, landing outside the top 120 backs in consensus and rostered in essentially zero leagues. Until injuries clear the rotation ahead of him, this is a watch-list name whose efficiency markers only matter if opportunity ever arrives. For now, leave him on waivers.
