Scouting report

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New York Jets

Antonio Brown had a nice return to the lineup, seeing a team-high 15 targets while finishing 10-101. With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin sidelined, AB hogged the targets and had a huge role in the offense. He also moved closer to some incentives, which Tom Brady could try to hit in the coming weeks. Brown needs 11 receptions, 281 yards and two more touchdowns to reach three different incentives in his contract. When Brown played on the Patriots, we saw Brady force-feed the WR on three shovel passes to reach an incentive. So it's not inconceivable to see him do the same down the stretch in Tampa Bay. Brown should be viewed as a must-start WR1 this week, assuming he's healthy. He had a surprise DNP on Thursday with a designated ankle injury, so his health is worth monitoring. But assuming he's fine, we'd start him with confidence.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Chicago Bears

UPDATE: Antonio Brown has been ruled out this week with an ankle injury so take him out of your fantasy lineups unless you want a 0.

Antonio Brown saw a team-high 13 targets last week, turning in another great performance with a stat line of 9-93-1. Despite missing an entire game, Brown is nearly the Bucs' leader in receptions and receiving yards, being two off the lead from each. And he's tied for the most touchdowns on the team with four. He gets an OK matchup against the Bears this week, who are 18th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to receivers. We'd expect things to keep going as they have been, with Brown having yet another productive game. He'll be a high-end WR2 play in Week 7.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Philadelphia Eagles

Business is boomin' as Antonio Brown finished 7-124-2 last week against the Dolphins on eight targets. In the three games this season where Brown has played at least 50% of the offensive snaps, he's averaging 6.3 receptions for 102 yards and 1.0 touchdowns. It's pretty remarkable he has this type of production considering how many other weapons the Bucs have in this offense. He'll draw a tough matchup this week against the Eagles, who have allowed the fewest total receptions to wide receivers so far this season, and the third-fewest receiving yards. Still, it's hard to ignore Brown's production this season. So even though it's a tough matchup, Brown can still be viewed as a mid-range WR2 vs. the Eagles.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Miami Dolphins

Antonio Brown returned last week after missing Week 3 and finished 7-63 on 11 targets. It's been an odd season for AB, who came out swinging in Week 1 with a 5-121-1 performance. Then he was held to a single catch in Week 2 before missing Week 3. Brown is the most volatile of the three Bucs receivers, but he's still a strong play on most weeks. He'll be a lower-end WR2 or strong WR3 play in a decent matchup against the Dolphins in Week 5.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New England Patriots

Antonio Brown had a strong Week 1 (121 yards), then was held to one catch for 17 yards in Week 2 (while playing 44% of the snaps) before being inactive in Week 3 due to being on the COVID list. Brown should return this week against his former team the Patriots, where we'd expect some sort of middle ground between his two performances so far this season. The Patriots have a good pass defense, but it's difficult to contain all three of the Bucs' receivers. We like Brown as a solid WR3 play this week against New England.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Antonio Brown proved he's still an extremely talented option and more than just the Bucs' third WR. He finished 5-121-1 on seven targets. Although it is a nice stat line, the snap counts do make it obvious that the Bucs view him as option No. 3. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin missed a combined five snaps while Brown played on 65% of the offensive snaps. But the snap counts don't matter too much as long as Brown is being effective, which he has been since joining the Bucs at the midway point last season. We expect another strong game from Brown in Week 2 in a favorable matchup against the Falcons. Brown torched Atlanta in both games last season, finishing 5-93-1 in the first game and 11-138-2 in the second game. We like him as a solid WR2 play this week.
