Fantasy Football Player Notes

Week 9 Half PPR Rankings

Ja'Marr Chase Note

Ja'Marr Chase remains fantasy's top-scoring wide receiver on the season after scoring for the seventh time in six games last week. This week he and the Cincinnati Bengals face the Las Vegas Raiders. This feels like a game where Chase will not be asked to put on the Superman cape. The Bengals should be able to dispatch the Raiders without a ton of downfield pass attempts. Chase can score from anywhere on the field, which is why he is still a WR1 this week. However, the volume is likely to be less than other wide receivers in this range, even if Tee Higgins remains sidelined.

Chase Brown Note

Brown has been the leader of the Bengals' backfield since Week 6, averaging a 56% snap rate overall while handling 74% of the rushing play snaps, 46% of the passing downs, and 79% of the red zone snaps. He has averaged 14.3 touches and 50.3 total yards during this span. Among 43 qualifying backs, Brown ranks 13th in explosive run rate, seventh in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 23rd in yards after contact per attempt. Brown should post a big game this week against a suspect Raiders run defense. Las Vegas has allowed the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, the seventh-highest yards after contact per attempt, the sixth-highest yards per carry-to-zone runs, and the ninth-highest zone success rate (Brown 55.1% zone).

In the three games Cincy has played without Tee Higgins this season, Gesicki has operated as the team's WR2 with a 20.6% target share, a 21.9% air-yard share, 2.98 YPRR, and a 25.3% first-read share. Gesicki finished as the TE21, TE5, and TE15 in weekly fantasy scoring, averaging 11.4 fantasy points per game. The Raiders have allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target and the eighth-highest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers (Gesicki in those three games, 62.3% slot).
