Should You Start or Sit Chase Brown in Week 14?
Forget the player. If you were to create a situation for a fantasy running back, how different would it look from what Chase Brown currently has in front of him?
- A porous defense that gives the offense motivation to stay on the field
- A potent passing game that makes loading the box nearly impossible
- No challengers for work in his backfield and a reasonably stationary QB
That’s about as good as it gets, and that’s how we get a drive like Cincinnati’s second one last week against the Steelers.
- Brown off right guard for 13 yards
- Brown off right guard for 41 yards
- Brown up the middle for one yard and a TD
He’s finished each of his past four games as an RB1, and it’s hard to see that changing significantly this week against the worst red-zone defense in all the land (76.9% touchdown rate). For good measure, the Cowboys also have the third-worst overall rush defense by EPA and allow rushing scores to RBs at the highest rate.
It’s the perfect spot for the perfect role. Brown finds himself in some lofty company well inside of my top 10 at the position this week — you’re playing him and loving it.
