Fantasy Upside
Where does the upside end with Antonio Brown? He has topped 100 receptions in each of the past four seasons, averaging 1,578 yards and 11.7 touchdowns during that span. Despite the presence of Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant, Brown is the clear-cut No. 1 target in this offense.
Fantasy Downside
Brown's targets dropped to 154 last season, a four-year low. He did sit out a meaningless regular season finale, though, but he had averaged 187 targets the previous two seasons. With Bryant back, Brown could see some of his targets go in that direction.
2017 Bottom Line
You know Brown has set the bar pretty high when a "down season" for him is catching "only" 106 passes on 154 targets. His 481 receptions over the past four seasons are the most in a four-year span in NFL history. The durable and explosive Brown should be the first receiver off the board in any fantasy draft.
