Cincinnati @ Kansas City
Team Totals: Chiefs 25.5, Bengals 19
Even after short periods of success, career backup quarterbacks tend to get exposed as sample sizes grow and defensive coordinators identify holes on tape. Such was the case for Jake Browning in Week 16; Browning melted down to the tune of three picks and a fumble in Cincinnati’s blowout loss to the Steelers. More struggles appear incoming at Arrowhead; the Chiefs are allowing the NFL’s third fewest yards per pass attempt (6.1) and third fewest fantasy QB points while ranking No. 4 in sacks (48). … Joe Mixon has out-touched Chase Brown 26 to 16 over the last two games, but this has clearly devolved into a two-man RBBC due to Mixon’s year-long inefficiency plus Brown’s spark off the bench. As big dogs on the road, neither Bengals back is an appealing RB2 play. Mixon is a touchdown-reliant flex option.
