Week 16 at Carolina Panthers
Antonio Brown is fresh off of suspension and ready to play this week, which is just in time for the Bucs. Tampa Bay lost both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to injury last week (and also lost RB Leonard Fournette). Brown is still dealing with an injury himself (ankle) and has been limited in practice, but is expected to play. Godwin (IR) is definitely out, and Evans is likely out, meaning Brown will be Tom Brady's top target against the Panthers. It's unfortunately a tough matchup as Carolina has given up the fifth-fewest receptions and fourth-fewest receiving yards to wide receivers this year. Although they've oddly allowed the 10th-most receiving touchdowns to WRs. Looking past the matchup, though, Brown will be the top option in a high-powered offense, and we've seen Brown play well already this year. He's a borderline WR1 with Evans and Godwin out.
