Best Chase Brown Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Chase Brown U 45.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Brown has had a lackluster season, averaging just 3.9 YPC and 49.6 rushing yards per game. His 396 rushing yards ranks 22nd of the 25 backs who have seen 100+ carries and he has fallen short of 45.5 rushing yards in three of his last five.
The main reason for Brown’s poor results has been his decreased role. The back is averaging just 12.9 carries per game, as the Bengals have been one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the league, ranking third in pass rate (63.7%).
Brown hasn’t seen more than 13 carries in six straight games and Samaje Perine actually out-carried Brown 11-9 in last Sunday’s 34-17 win over the Falcons. This is concerning for Brown and up next, he is in a brutal spot vs. the Steelers.
Opponents have the worst rushing success rate in the NFL when facing Pittsburgh and this defense is giving up the fifth-fewest yards per rush this season (3.6). In the Steelers’ last five games, the most rushing yards they have allowed to a back is just 46 from Bucky Irving in Week 6. Pittsburgh’s defense should give Brown major problems and he shouldn’t do much as a rusher in this spot.
