TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Antonio Brown averaged more targets per game (7.8) than Chris Godwin (7.0) and Mike Evans (6.8) last season, and he's been brought back for another year. Brown is absolutely a big part of this offense despite joining late to a crowded WR corps. He's in for a solid Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys, and his stock could go up if Godwin's quad injury is serious. Even if Godwin plays, we like Brown as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 play.

TB WR Antonio Brown - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Antonio Brown had a strong impact for the Bucs last season despite joining a crowded receiving corps. He averaged 7.8 targets per game in the eight regular-season games he appeared in, and that includes three games where he played less than 50% of the offensive snaps. Brown turned those targets into production, finishing 45-483-4, or 11.8 fantasy points per game (half-PPR). He resigned with the Bucs and will now get a full season of production in a pass-happy offense led by Tom Brady.

Fantasy Downside
The obvious downside to Brown is his wildcard nature, which landed him with the Bucs in the first place. One wrong move and coach Bruce Arians has a short leash on the troubled receiver. Brown’s age (33) will also play a role as he’s facing the downturn of his career. Aside from that, Brown will be playing in a crowded offense featuring Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski. The Bucs also added Giovani Bernard, who could eat into some of those short passes Brown was reliant on in 2020.

2021 Bottom Line
Brown averaged more targets per game (7.8) than Godwin (7.0) and Evans (6.8) last season, which shows he played a bigger role than some might have realized. While we like Evans and Godwin more, there isn’t as big of a separation between the three as their ADPs might suggest. But while Brown sees high volume, his yardage isn’t quite there as he averaged a career-low (outside of his rookie season) 10.7 yards per catch. Brown is a solid late-round pick up in half or full PPR formats.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Antonio Brown wasn't crazy productive last week (4-35-1), but he did score for the second consecutive week. Brown has been up-and-down with his production for Tampa Bay, but his best game of the season (93 yards) came against the Falcons — his opponent this week. We're not anticipating that kind of game again, but Brown is a promising WR3 play in Week 17 in a favorable matchup (No. 25 aFPA).

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Detroit Lions

Antonio Brown had his most productive game as a Buccaneer last week, finishing 5-93-1 on seven targets. It set a season-high in receiving yards for AB, and it was his first touchdown of the season. The interesting part is the fact Brown only played on 47% of the offensive snaps. It's the third time this season he's played below 50% of the snaps, but he's remained productive practically in every game. Expect another solid game from Brown this week in a favorable matchup against the Lions (No. 23 aFPA). We like Brown as a strong WR3 play in Week 16.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Atlanta Falcons

Antonio Brown finished 5-59 on five targets last week. His five receptions led the team as the Bucs went with a run-heavy approach. With a favorable matchup against the Falcons, we'd expect the Bucs to return to a pass-heavy approach this week. Brown has averaged 6.8 targets in his five games with the Bucs, which is pretty solid considering how many weapons the Bucs have on offense. Expect a similar catch-heavy game from Brown in Week 15. He'll be a lower-end WR2, or a strong WR3 play in Week 15 against a Falcons defense allowing the second-most receiving yards to WRs this season.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Antonio Brown was the odd man out in the Bucs' last game, finishing 2-11 on just three targets. The week before, Brown saw a team-high 13 targets. Despite the low production, Brown actually played quite a bit (73%), more than he had played in the Bucs' previous two games. With so many weapons in this offense, dud games are bound to happen here and there. Overall, Brown is still a solid play as a high-end WR3 in PPR and more in the WR4 range in standard. He gets a somewhat favorable matchup against the Vikings (No. 20 aFPA) this week. Brown's stock could rise if Mike Evans (hamstring) misses time.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Antonio Brown led the team in targets last week with 13. He had a reception-heavy game, finishing with eight receptions for 57 yards. He was the only receiver of the main three without a touchdown. It's interesting to note Brown saw so many targets in a tough matchup as the Bucs get another tough matchup against the Chiefs this week. The Rams are No. 1 in fewest yards allowed to WRs this year, and the Chiefs are No. 2. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Bucs throw often to Brown again, especially in a game that could see a lot of points with two high-powered offense. We like Brown as a mid-tier WR2 in PPR formats and more of a WR3 in standard.
