Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh
Team Totals: Steelers 27, Bengals 21.5
The Bengals return from Week 10’s bye to face a Jekyll & Hyde Steelers defense they waxed for 33 points with Joe Flacco quarterbacking on Week 7 Thursday Night Football. In four starts since being acquired from Cleveland, Flacco is fantasy’s overall QB2 in per-game scoring, averaging 313.5 passing yards with an 11:2 TD-to-INT ratio. Pittsburgh has made some defensive tweaks and gotten a bit healthier up front since Week 7, but still lacks the requisite secondary personnel to cover Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Flacco is a locked-in fantasy QB1 in another potential track meet. … Chase Brown will warrant legitimate RB1 valuation should Samaje Perine (ankle) miss Week 11. Perine went down on the Bengals’ first drive in Week 9; Brown went on to play 96% of Cincinnati’s offensive snaps, handled 19 touches, and drew 14(!) targets. The Bengals had a bye in Week 10, yet Perine still couldn’t practice early this week. Brown is fantasy’s RB11 in per-game PPR points with Flacco at QB.
