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.

Germie Bernard News

Germie Bernard Could Surprise in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 3:42 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard was relatively quiet in Weeks 7 and 8 after breaking out in Week 6, but he'll look to get back on track following the team's Week 9 bye. His first opportunity to do so comes against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in a primetime matchup on Sunday Night Football. Cincinnati ranks middle-of-the-pack against fantasy receivers this season, but its pass defense has been subpar overall and particularly vulnerable to production from the slot. The Bengals surrender the second-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers, where Bernard lines up nearly 50% of the time. Pittsburgh's receiver room remains thin due to injuries to Roman Wilson (finger) and Michael Pittman Jr. (foot), so Bernard should see plenty of playing time alongside DK Metcalf, even with Ben Skowronek (calf) back in the mix. Assuming the Steelers need to throw to keep pace with Cincinnati's high-powered passing attack, Bernard carries some upside into this matchup and is worth considering as a WR3 or flex option in most formats.
