Let’s toss it to our keys to winning, presented by Toyota, the official automotive partner of the NFL.
And for week six, our key to winning is picking the guys that are gonna make a difference in your flex spot.
Give me your key to winning player here for week six.
It is Chase Brown, um who is really been pushing forward in the way that I truly hoped he would um as we were heading in through the preseason.
Now looking at Chase Brown, a lot of this is very dependent on Zack Moss suffering that ankle injury.
We don’t know the status of him right now, but regardless Brown is making his case for pushing this into a committee and he has been highly effective.
He’s currently averaging 5.6 yards per car.
He has two touchdowns.
He’s contributed in the past game.
He’s just so well rounded, so explosive.
And while this matchup here against the Giants isn’t an absolute lay up.
The Cincinnati Bengals offense overall is just humming, I expect a fantastic game out of Chase Brown here regardless of the status for Zach Moss.
And if he’s out, good Lord to the moon Chase Brown is absolutely someone who I want to flex this week.
Yeah, I love this call.
I have Chase Brown in a couple of spots and I’m happily starting him this week.
Uh, really looking forward to him, sort of continuing to grow in that backfield.
I’ll throw it to a player who I believe.
I don’t think it started in enough leagues out there.
And that’s Tuba Hubbard who leads all running backs with a 67.6% rushing success rate this season.
There’s been no more efficient back in the NFL this year than Tuba Hubbard.
But for, for this week, most importantly, again, most efficient running back in the NFL, this offense moves better with Andy Dalton.
The Falcons are the team they’re facing this week and they are 30th in rushing success rate allowed and even more consequentially, they’re scoring points on their side.
This could be a high scoring game.
So Chuba Hubbard can run effectively in this game.
He probably has a good shot at a touchdown.
And that is why he is my key to winning player here for week six.
