Chase Brown Could Struggle On The Ground In Week 10

Friday, November 13, 1:00 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in Week 10. Brown rushed nine times for 57 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Brown once again split work with running back Samaje Perine, who handled 11 carries for 43 yards in the contest. The good news is Brown was more efficient with his carries and was still involved as a pass catcher despite the split. The bad news is the Steelers defense is very tough on running backs this season. With him splitting work and the strength of the Pittsburgh defense, Brown could find very little success between the tackles this week. Brown could still be heavily utilized as a pass catcher if the Steelers' pass rush puts pressure on quarterback Joe Burrow throughout the contest. Brown is ranked RB14 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a strong RB2 option this week.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. News

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Good to Go in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 2:22 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) was limited in practice on Friday but was removed from the Week 10 injury report and will suit up for Sunday's divisional clash in Tennessee against the Titans. Despite being limited in practice all week with a hand injury, Rodriguez is good to go this weekend and will continue his role as the change-of-pace option behind RB1 Bhayshul Tuten. C-Rod played a season-high 45% of the offensive snaps in last week's blowout win over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night with Tuten nursing an ankle/foot injury. It led to 10 carries (the second-highest total of the season) for only 19 yards, but he managed to find the end zone for the fourth time this year and the second time in as many weeks, while catching both of his targets for 13 yards. He has been second fiddle to Tuten in Jacksonville's backfield this year, so with Tuten active again in Week 10, it is hard to trust C-Rod as anything more than a deep-league, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex option against the Titans. In his first year in Duval in 2026, the former sixth-rounder from Kentucky has carried the football 55 times for 228 yards (career-low 4.1 yards per attempt) and four touchdowns, adding only four catches for 36 yards in the passing game. Rodriguez is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 36 fantasy RB in Week 10.
