Brown has been dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out of action in Week 8. He returned last week to face the Seattle Seahawks, but he was held without a catch and clearly looked limited throughout the game.
Fantasy impact: While he’s optimistic about his chances of playing today, Brown has been vocal about his frustration with his injury. The speedy receiver won’t be 100 percent. He’ll be a risky play for fantasy owners.
Michael Floyd is also dealing with a hamstring injury, which could work in Brown’s favor if he’s inactive. The Bengals rank No. 7 in fewest fantasy points allowed to wide receivers, though. A tough matchup with Brown still working his way back from injury, it might be best to find a different option at wide receiver.
