Week 6 NFL Advanced Analytics Superstars
Wide Receiver: Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers
Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
8 Receptions, 155 Yards, 10 Targets, 1 Touchdown
Performance: 93
The most dominant receiver in football was dominant once again on Sunday, with Pittsburgh Steelers' star Antonio Brown helping his team upset the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Brown totaled 155 receiving yards and a touchdown. It was his second week in a row to lead all receivers in Performance Score, this time recording a 93.
While his 51-yard touchdown reception was a tad flukey and probably should have been intercepted, he demonstrated outstanding concentration to bring in the deflected pass with one hand before outracing the defense to the end zone. He finished the game with 8 receptions on 10 targets and a Reception NEP of 11.90.
As good as the Chiefs' secondary has been all season, they had no answer for Brown, the league leader in receptions (48) and targets (74). The star receiver is currently on pace for 128 catches, which would be only the third-best total in his prolific career, and he is firmly entrenched as the top receiver to own in fantasy football.
