Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase led a Bengals-dominant preseason discussion, with Chase Brown rapidly emerging as the breakout back to backup Burrow’s precise passing and Cincinnati’s high-octane offense. The host projected Brown for 1,500+ total yards, 14+ TDs, and around 70 receptions if workload sticks, framing him as a top-five RB target. Debo Samuel showed a versatile “wide back” usage, hinting at big-volume weeks if the role holds. Nico Collins surfaced for Houston as a trustworthy target in a developing offense; AJ Brown’s durability remained a live concern for the Eagles, while CeeDee Lamb’s status and supporting cast shaped draft-day choices.
