Fantasy Football: One Wide Receiver to Target in Each Round of Your Draft
Round 1: Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers
Average Draft Position: 1.04 (WR1)
Antonio Brown's consistent greatness over the past four seasons is absolutely incredible.
| Season | Catches | Yards | Touchdowns | Overall PPR Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 110 | 1,499 | 8 | 3rd |
| 2014 | 129 | 1,698 | 13 | 1st |
| 2015 | 136 | 1,834 | 10 | 1st |
| 2016 | 106 | 1,284 | 12 | 1st |
He has been so productive that he posted four-year lows in catches and yards last season, and he was still the overall WR1 in PPR leagues. Brown's weekly floor is out of this world as he's been held to fewer than 50 yards in a game just five times across his last 63 contests, including once in his past 23 games.
Our models have Brown again finishing as the top wide receiver, projecting him for 113 receptions, 1,444 yards and 10.0 touchdowns. Once David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell are selected with the first two picks, Brown needs to come off the board at 1.03.
