TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Antonio Brown played on fewer snaps (from 78% to 49%) in his second game, but was more productive overall, seeing season highs in targets (8), receptions (7) and yards (69, nice). He also received a rushing attempt, but it went for negative three yards. Brown's eight targets show he's a featured member of this offense, even if he's not in every play. However, Brown may struggle to find production this week against the Rams. The Rams have allowed the fewest total receiving yards to WRs, and the fewest touchdowns (4). Godwin is in the WR2 range for Week 11. Brown should be viewed as a WR3 in Week 11.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Carolina Panthers

Antonio Brown made his debut for the Bucs last week, and played a healthy 78% of the offensive snaps. Brown finished with five targets, catching three passes for 31 yards. As expected, Brown has emerged as the No. 3 WR behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. However, he'll also be fighting with Leonard Fournette and Rob Gronkowski (who each had six targets) for shares of the football. Brown is certainly worth a roster spot, but he's not much more than a low-end WR3 play this week against the Panthers.

TB WR Antonio Brown - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. New Orleans Saints

Antonio Brown makes his NFL return this week as a member of the Bucs. A lot of his value will ride on whether or not Chris Godwin (finger) plays. If Godwin is inactive, then Brown will likely pick up that reception-heavy role. If Godwin does play, then it's a wait-and-see approach to see how Brown, Godwin, Mike Evans and Gronk all play together. Even if Godwin is active, we've all seen what Brown can do. He's a talented player with a good quarterback in a good offense. We like Brown as a strong WR3 this week in a favorable matchup against the Saints. We're projecting around 60 yards for AB in Week 9.

NE WR Antonio Brown - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs New York Jets
It didn't take long for Antonio Brown to see valuable targets in his Patriots debut, as he was the target for Tom Brady's first three passes of the game. Brown was used in a variety of ways, but with an aDOT of 11.5, his primary usage was in the intermediate range downfield. He was targeted five times in the red zone, which he turned into 28 yards and a score. He's now tied for third among all receivers in red-zone targets through two weeks despite playing in only one game.

Brown was still being implemented into the offense in Week 2, playing in only 24 of New England's 72 total snaps, and that snap share will almost certainly increase in Week 3. The Jets have allowed the 10th-most 0.5 PPR fantasy points per game to wide receivers, while Brown's 0.67 PPR points per snap were the highest among all offensive Patriots players in Week 2. He may not yet see enough target volume on Sunday to make him a no-doubt WR1, but he's a must-start as a WR2 with a good shot at WR1 numbers if his snap share increases faster than expected.

NE WR Antonio Brown - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Miami Dolphins
Antonio Brown was assigned number 17 at practice today in New England, making him an official member of the roster, and it appears that he'll be suiting up on Sunday. Brown isn't likely to jump into his first game with the Patriots in Week 2 and immediately command target volume commensurate with other top-end fantasy WR1s. The Patriots offense is notoriously difficult for wide receivers to master, and with only a few days of practice, Brown's usage may be more basic than it will be further along in the season. Brown also likely won't be the target vacuum that he was in Pittsburgh due to the depth of New England's offense and Tom Brady's tendency to spread the ball around.

That being said, Brown is one of the most talented wide receivers in NFL history, so valuable fantasy production from him in his Week 2 matchup against Miami is probably still in the cards. He's startable as a top-24 wide receiver with serious touchdown upside against a poor Miami secondary.

OAK WR Antonio Brown - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Denver Broncos

The sky is falling for Antonio Brown. First the frostbite on his feet, then the helmet issue and now an altercation with Raiders GM Mike Mayock. There is a lot of speculation in Oakland but right now we know Antonio Brown is not expected to play against the Broncos in Week one, per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

OAK WR Antonio Brown - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
In his first season with the Raiders, Brown is clearly the team’s top receiver ahead of Tyrell Williams, J.J. Nelson, and rookie Hunter Renfrow. Last season, Jared Cook led the team with 101 targets and Jordy Nelson was second with 88 targets. Cook moved to New Orleans and Nelson retired. Brown should have a lot of opportunity because the Raiders lead the NFL in vacated targets, 359.

Fantasy Downside
Brown’s fantasy potential took a major hit when he moved from Pittsburgh to Oakland. Looking at last year alone shows a stark contrast between offensive schemes and overall production. Pittsburgh finished as the sixth-best team in points per game, 26.8, and Oakland finished as the fifth-worst team, 18.1 points per game. Pittsburgh had 713 passing attempts compared to Oakland’s 608 attempts. It doesn’t help Brown’s case that he downgraded from Ben Roethlisberger to Derek Carr.

Speaking of Carr, he might not have a lot of time to throw from the pocket. The offensive line ranked 26th in pass protection, per Football Outsiders, and they are projected to face the sixth most difficult pass rush schedule, per Warren Sharp. Carr averaged the least amount of time to throw in the NFL, 2.55 seconds per Next Gen Stats. It is also worth noting, Oakland will face the tenth most difficult wide receiver schedule, according to 4for4's schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed.

2019 Bottom Line
Brown is still a top tier route runner and should have plenty of opportunities but his fantasy floor is much lower with his new team. He can still finish as a top ten fantasy wide receiver but do not expect him to post WR1 numbers on a weekly basis like he did with the Steelers. Those days are behind him.
