Expert Note
View More NotesChase Brown is the RB19 in fantasy points per game, averaging 19 touches and 74 total yards. In his last game before the bye, Samaje Perine did cut into his early-down workload, but I'm not concerned about Brown moving forward. In that game, Brown still had a 60.3% snap rate, a 41.9% rushing share, and a 60.6% route share (12.5%) target share. He did split the red zone rushing work with Perine, with each back seeing four red zone rushing attempts, but Brown had a 63.2% snap rate in the red zone. I think Brown's workload could bounce back this week, but even if it continues along this path, he is still the workhorse back for Cincy. Among 38 qualifying backs, Brown is 19th in yards after contact per attempt and 27th in missed tackle rate. Brown will have to get by with passing game usage and overall volume this week after laying all of that out because Baltimore's run defense has been formidable this season, allowing the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-lowest rushing success rate, and the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate.

Fantasy Impact
The young running back wasn't able to get much going on Sunday. He totaled 50 yards over his 17 opportunities, and he wasn't able to get into the end zone at all, which left him with an underwhelming fantasy total. He should bounce back and look better after Cincinnati's bye week this week, but his production may continue to be inconsistent moving forward.
