Fantasy Football Player Notes

Chase Brown has been awesome since Joe Flacco arrived as the RB11 in fantasy points per game, averaging 14.6 touches and 91.5 total yards. Since Week 6, among 45 qualifying backs, he has ranked eighth in explosive run rate, third in missed tackle rate, and second in yards after contact per attempt. The last time he faced Pittsburgh, he had only 11 carries but ripped them apart with 9.8 yards per carry. Brown returned to his Christian McCaffrey-lite workload in Week 9 with a 95.6% snap rate, 19 touches, 112 total yards, and an insane 14 targets (29.8% target share). Brown is a borderline elite play this week. Since Week 6, Pittsburgh has fielded a middling run defense, allowing the 14th-highest rushing success rate, ranking 16th in yards before contact per attempt and logging the 12th-lowest stuff rate.
