Antonio Brown 2018 Outlook
Trying to make an argument for somebody -- at least anybody currently playing -- being a better NFL (and fantasy football) wide receiver than Brown could be an episode of "Mission Impossible." In fact, as Bleacher Report’s Joe Goodberry suggested, "Brown might legitimately be the best offensive player in the NFL." Goodberry continued: "Lightning-quick with light feet, Brown runs sharp, crisp routes that gain him as much separation as anybody in the league. While he may body-catch at times, Brown's hands are perfectly fine, as he rarely drops a pass. His only limitation would be his size, but it doesn't affect him as much as you'd expect." The stats reflect his prowess. He led the league last season in receptions and receiving yards despite missing two games due to a late-season calf injury. If we're looking for reasons to be concerned (and we should look even if there aren't any huge concerns), one might be OC Todd Haley, one of the pass-happiest coordinators in the NFL, leaving for Cleveland. But Haley's replacement, Randy Fichtner, isn't going to change the Steelers' offense materially. Ben Roethlisberger and Le'Veon Bell, two of the major reasons for Brown's consistent productivity, are still in place. The rest of the supporting cast is still solid even with the departure of Martavis Bryant. Fantasy owners should continue to rely on Brown to return first-round dividends again this year.
Antonio Brown 2017 Outlook
The Steelers signed Brown to a new five-year contract worth up to $72.71 million this offseason, and it's not hard to figure out why. Brown was drafted by Pittsburgh in the sixth round in 2010 and has developed into one of the best receivers in the game. In his first seven seasons he has caught 632 passes for 8,377 yards, a 13.3 yard average, and has hauled in 50 touchdowns. Brown finished first in the AFC and second in the NFL in total receptions in 2016 with 106, finishing just behind Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald who had 107 receptions. Brown was also fifth in the league in total receiving yardage with 1,284. In addition, he has at least one reception in 99 straight regular-season games, set a NFL record for the most receptions by a player in the first 100 regular season games of their career (622) and has the most receptions in NFL history over any four-year span with 481 (2013-16). Playing in one of the league's most prolific offenses alongside QB Ben Roethlisberger and RB Le'Veon Bell, Brown has emerged as the most consistent high-end receiver in fantasy football. Assuming there are no major changes to Pittsburgh's offense and/or personnel, there's no reason to believe Brown's dominance won't continue.
