CINCINNATI — Year 3 could be a big one for Chase Brown.

The Bengals' lead running back figures to get even more responsibility put on his plate this fall, and offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher drove that home on Monday.

Brown has been doing wide receiver workouts this offseason with Andrei Iosivas and more in what figures to be one of the NFL's pass-heaviest offenses again this fall. The multi-use weapon is primed to get moved around the formation starting in September.

"We thought we had a pretty special player, and then Chase reminded us that we, in fact, did have a pretty special player," Pitcher said about Brown. "You have to think about where are the best places we can utilize him. Obviously, he's a running back. He's going to have traditional running back touches. And then it's on us to see if there are times and places where we can utilize them in varying roles that might get us a match-up on the perimeter with a linebacker or a safety or something that we really like and think we can take advantage of. 

"And those will change week to week, opponent to opponent. But what we know won't change is Chase's approach, and his preparedness in how he does his job, and then you know he's got a lot of believers in this building, myself, being one of them, and it'll be a big part of what we do."

Brown is set up to have his best NFL season yet and will be surrounded by better RB depth than Cincinnati's had in either of his first two seasons. 

He should get plenty of worthy breathers to stay as fresh as possible for late-game big plays. Brown just posted 990 rushing yards on 4.3 yards per carry last season to go with 54 catches for 360 yards. 

He scored 10 total touchdowns last season and could easily be in the 13-16 TD range this fall.
