Chase Brown’s Key Role Against Broncos in Week 4 Matchup

CINCINNATI, OHIO – September 29, 2025 – Chase Brown and the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to face the Denver Broncos in a crucial Week 4 matchup on Monday night.

The Bengals will enter this game as 7.5-point underdogs, with the total points set at 44.5. Despite disappointing performances this season, Brown has shown potential, particularly in the passing game.

In Week 3, with Jake Browning starting at quarterback, Brown caught four passes out of five targets, accumulating 18 yards. He was heavily involved in the passing attack, seeing a target on an impressive 38% of his route runs, especially since the Bengals were trailing for most of the game.

With Cincinnati likely to rely on its passing game against a perceived stronger Denver team, Brown’s usage could again increase. His involvement has been significant as he runs routes on 44% of the Bengals’ dropbacks, receiving targets on 23% of those attempts.

This season, quarterbacks facing the Broncos have completed 81.8% of their passes to running backs, making Brown’s prop bet of over 3.5 catches intriguing at a +125 price. Given the projected game script and his increasing role, Brown has the opportunity to take advantage of the Broncos’ defense.

As for Denver, they aim to build on J.K. Dobbins’ strong performances thus far. The match at Empower Field at Mile High is set to start at 8:15 PM ET.
