Fantasy Upside
He’s not the biggest receiver in the league but Antonio Brown is certainly among the most productive. And he’s had at least 5 receptions for 50 or more yards in every game over the past two seasons. Even his bad games aren’t terrible. With the emergence of Martavis Bryant on the other side and LeVeon Bell’s continued improvement, it gets more difficult for opponents to double team Brown, not that doing so has been particularly effective.
Fantasy Downside
There’s not a lot to dislike about Brown’s game, but you do have to wonder if the emergence of other stars in the Pittsburgh offense might take some of his catches away. Maybe. But probably not.
Bottom Line
The one knock against Brown heading into last season was that he wasn’t an effective red zone player. He took care of that by scoring 13 touchdowns to go along with his 129 receptions and 1,698 yards. Perhaps he won’t reach those totals in 2015, but 80 to 90 percent of that is still pretty darn good. Brown should be one of the top five receivers selected in any fantasy format.
