He Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) start Week 10 in a Thursday night road matchup against the Baltimore Ravens (6-3).

This is a crucial game for both franchises. Cincinnati needs a win to even the series and continue its climb out of the hole they started the season in. Baltimore is chasing the Pittsburgh Steelers for the AFC North while waiting for Kansas City Chiefs drop some games to potentially get the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

In that first game between the Bengals and Ravens, Brown finished with 54 total yards and a touchdown. The score saved his fantasy performance, which is something he might need again in a tough matchup against Baltimore’s fast defense.

According to Pro Football Reference, the Ravens are allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy PPG to running backs this season. In their last four games, the most rushing yards they allowed to a single running back was 52 yards, which went to Nick Chubb. They have also allowed just three running back touchdowns in those contests.
