Cincinnati vs. Atlanta (in Madrid, Spain)
Team Totals: Bengals 28, Falcons 25
Atlanta’s secondary has been masked the past two weeks by situations beyond their control, facing Brock Purdy with a bare-bones roster and Baker Mayfield in a downpour. In two games before that, Tyler Huntley finished as the QB10 and Caleb Williams tossed for 8.4 yards per attempt. Boasting a 28-point team total, Joe Burrow’s as safe as they come. … Touches haven’t been the issue for Chase Brown, as he’s handled a 79% share (to Samaje Perine’s 21%) in two games out of Cincy’s bye. Brown’s simply lacked skill — 65th among 71 qualifiers in Rush Yards Over Expected for a long run of 14 yards — with his usage. Having said that, the Falcons laid down for the most points per game to enemy RBs since Week 4, allowing equally dreadful runners — Alvin Kamara (22.8 fantasy points), Roschon Johnson (14.5), Kaelon Black (10.9) — to produce startable scores. If Brown can’t pop here, he might not ever.
