Scouting report

PIT WR Antonio Brown - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Baltimore Ravens

The Steelers offense hasn't looked great thus far but Antonio Brown certainly has. He had 10 catches for 110 yards and his first touchdown last week and leads the NFL in receptions and yards through two weeks. Brown had 18 catches for 186 yards and 2 scores on 22 targets against Baltimore last season. There is no reason to think the Ravens can stop Brown. Few other teams have. He's a must-start in all formats.

PIT WR Antonio Brown - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Chicago Bears

Antonio Brown had 5 catches for 62 yards on 10 targets last week after catching all 11 of his targets in Week 1. His numbers would have been better if not for a pass interference penalty on Xavier Rhodes as Brown blew past him on a deep ball. There isn't a player capable of covering him on Chicago's roster and the Bears have allowed 25 WR receptions in their first two games for 299 yards and a score. Brown will add to that total this week and should be used as a WR1.

PIT WR Antonio Brown - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Antonio Brown picked up where he left off from the past three seasons, catching 11 passes for 182 yards on 11 targets. He had 2 other targets, but one was a pass interference penalty 40 yards downfield and the other was a 15-yard catch called back by penalty. The only thing he didn't do was get into the end zone. That will come. Regardless of the matchup, and Minnesota presents a tough one, Brown is a must-start player in all formats.

PIT WR Antonio Brown - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Cleveland Browns

Antonio Brown begins his quest to become the first receiver in NFL history with five consecutive 100-catch seasons. Brown recorded eight receptions for 76 yards in his only meeting versus the Browns last season (he sat out the regular season finale). That was without a deep threat such as Martavis Bryant working on the other side of him, too. Bryant should pull some of the double teams away from Brown and benefit greatly. You drafted Brown as your No. 1 receiver. There's no reason to think he won't perform as one every week, starting with this game.

PIT WR Antonio Brown - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

PIT WR Antonio Brown - Week 20, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

AFC Championship at New England
Brown put up his fourth consecutive 100-yard game in as many outings in the playoffs, catching six passes for 108 yards on 11 targets last week. He would have added a TD to that total had Marcus Peters not ripped a ball away from him in the end zone at the last second. The Patriots have had Malcolm Butler follow Brown around in their previous two meetings with poor results. Brown has 16 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets in his past two games against the Patriots with Butler attempting to stop him. Brown should be solid this week.

PIT WR Antonio Brown - Week 19, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Divisional Round at Kansas City
Antonio Brown had five catches for 124 yards and two 50-plus yard scores last week, both of which came in the first quarter. The Steelers took the air out of the ball after that, but Brown showed he is still a major weapon even if Pittsburgh only puts the ball in the air 18 times as it did last week. He only had four receptions for 64 yards when these two teams met earlier this season, but two went for touchdowns. That's been the trend during Pittsburgh's eight-game winning streak. Brown hasn't put up huge numbers, but he has seven touchdowns in those eight games. Weather could be a factor, but Brown is capable of turning a WR screen into a long play at any moment. He should be solid this weekend.
