After getting off to a brutal start this season, Chase Brown has racked up more than 100 total yards in four-straight games. While Brown might have a tough time finding room on the ground against the Patriots stingy run defense, he should be busy as a receiver out of the backfield. The Pats surrender a league-high 5.7 receptions per game to running back. Brown is coming off a six-catch performance against Pittsburgh and in his previous game he reeled in eight of 14 targets for 75 yards versus Chicago. With All-Pro wideout Ja'Marr Chase out with a suspension, there will be plenty of extra targets to go around.
New England has won eight straight, and they're a perfect 5-0 on the road. The Pats have also covered this exact spread in two of their previous three away games.
Hunter Henry is always a live touchdown option in this Patriots offense. The tight end has four scores on the year but it’s been four weeks since Henry has found the end zone, puffing up his ATTD price to +150. He’s drawn the seventh most red zone targets among all TEs and faces a Cincinnati defense that has allowed a league-high 12 touchdowns to the position.
I’m always interested in high-priced tight end touchdown shots. Noah Fant ran the most routes and played the most snaps among Bengals TEs in Week 11, and he caught more passes (five) than any of their receivers. Since Mike Gesicki went down, Fant has posted two touchdowns and 14 catches over four games. The wrinkle is Gesicki’s return, as his practice window opened this week. Bringing him back now would be a bit rushed, and even if he’s activated, Fant has established a clear role with Joe Flacco — a quarterback Gesicki has played only two snaps with. Gesicki has just eight catches in six games, which makes an early position on Fant easier to justify. You can also wait for clarity, as Fant has closed around this price for a touchdown in four straight weeks. The Patriots are a Top-10 matchup for opposing TEs.
