Brown faces tough Steelers run defense; receiving game only path to value.

Brown is having a bad season and holding onto RB2 value only because the Bengals are averaging 30.0 points (second). Flipping the switch against a loaded Steelers defense would be a surprise; Pittsburgh has allowed the third-fewest rushing YPG this year but fourth-most fantasy points to RBs via the receiving game (8.1 half PPR points). Offenses facing Pittsburgh have passed the ball in neutral situations at the highest rate (60%), and Cincy is already leading that metric (66%), so Brown saving face with 4-6 receptions wouldn't be surprising. Cincinnati is a 3.5-point home favorite with a 26.5-point implied total (fifth).
