By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

It looks like Brown has taken over as Cincy's leadback over the last two weeks. In Week 7, he played 58% of the snaps with 17 touches and 63 total yards. He had an 80% snap rate on rushing plays and 100% of the red zone snaps while giving way to Zack Moss on passing downs (39% snap rate). Over the last two weeks, he has averaged 60% of the snaps, 14.5 touches, and 58.5 total yards with 100% of the red zone snaps. Among 66 qualifying backs, he ranks 13th in explosive run rate, fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. Brown could pop off with a huge game this week. Philly has allowed the fourth-highest yards before contact per attempt, the second-highest yards per carry to zone runs, and the third-highest zone rushing success rate (Brown 62.1% zone).
