  • Highest over/under of the week and Goff threw 5 scores in another blowout. That was his only big game and it was coming off a Week 1 loss to the packers where maybe they wanted to make a point
  • bengals have allowed the 2nd most scores and 3rd most yards to QBs, including multiple scores in 3 straight

TACOM
  • The Bengals have allowed 14 explosive pass plays
  • Had a whopping 195 unrealized air yards last week and had a third of the targets, they are going for him, this is a defense where those might become realized
  • Bengals are bottom 10 in yards, receptions, and fantasy points to WRs
  • 4th in NFL in yards after the catch per reception

C
  • The Bengals have allowed the 4th most receptions and 9th most yards to TEs
  • Since the opener when he was targeted 9 times, Sam Laporta has only seen 4 targets per game and just 1 in the red zone in that span.
  • He caught 10 of those 12 though but hasn't topped 40 yards since the opener either. The most I can get to is a C grade due to matchup, I just worry they'll continue hitting other options though even though it's a fine spot.

A
  • Auto A
  • averaging 19.5 touches and 5 of those being catches
  • 2nd easiest matchup for RBs, 16 touches basically guarantees 90+ and a score so far against the Bengals
  • Bengals are bottom 5 in several categories against pass catching backs
RB25 David Montgomery 16 9.38 42.13 0.5 1.44 1.75 11.19 0 92%
B
  • The last 3 2nd RBs on the team had 50+ yards and the Lions are 10 point favorites and may lean on running later.
  • The Bengals have allowed the most touches to running backs so far this year
  • best in the league in RYOE
  • first ever home game for him in cincy, his whole family coming, his sister was paralyzed last year and it feels like Dan Campbell might try to give DM the game of his life here.

bench
  • Lions have 14 sacks, 2nd most and blitz on 35% of pass plays
  • Browning has 140 yards and 125 yards in his 2 starts with one score and 2 picks, but is there upside in a game script he'll need to throw all day?
  • Well first, In the 3 shootouts the Lions had, opposing QBs threw 30, 27, and 34 times. So we may only be talking about 5 more attempts than normal. The Lions control the clock.
  • In the two blowouts, Caleb williams had 207, Flacco had 184

WR5 Ja'Marr Chase 15 7.8 11.67 87.73 0.47 99%
B
  • Maybe a squeaky wheel game for a visibly frustrated Chase. He's had 5 for 50 and 5-23 in the two full Browning games
  • Rome Odunze was able to explode against the Lions, Chase could too.
WR12 Tee Higgins 14 3.79 6.36 55.64 0.71 98%
C
  • Just 4 catches for 47 yards in the last two.
  • 7 different receivers have topped 45 yards on the Lions, game script says they should pass more.
  • Since the targets are so centralized to two WRs in contrast to the other teams that played the Lions that 10 for 150 and a score they allow to WRs each game might get split into two reasonable fantasy days, especially with 4 teams on bye

RB12 Chase Brown 16 13.69 59.19 0.38 4.06 5.13 26.19 0.25 99%
C
  • 2nd worst yards per carry in the NFL behind Zach Charbonnet
  • had an incredibly hard start with 4 very tough run defenses, will get better
  • He had 23 and 18 touches in the two close wins. In the two blowout losses he saw 13 and 14 touches totaling 91 yards combined for those two games.
  • Unfortunately, this has all the makings of another potential blow out loss. Only against the Vikings did the other backs combine for more than 2 touches, the backfield is almost completely Chase Brown's but he has been so inefficient
  • The best I can find is a volume C, hope for 50-75 yards, a couple catches, maybe you get lucky with a score which is what 3 of the 4 backs to face the Lions did.
  • I will note, all 4 lead backs did score against the Lions: Jacobs Swift, Henry, Judkins
