Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
11 Receptions, 213 Yards, 18 Targets
Performance Score: 99
If there was any doubt who the best wide receiver in football is heading into Week 14, Antonio Brown went ahead and put that conversation to bed. He was unguardable once again on Sunday, notching 213 yards on 11 receptions as the Pittsburgh Steelers overcame a 9-point fourth-quarter deficit to clinch the AFC North division title.
Firmly in the MVP conversation, Brown had a Performance Score of 99 and a Reception NEP of 15.44 on an absurd 18 targets. On the season, he now has 99 receptions for 1,509 yards in 13 games to lead the league, and he hasn't been held under 100 yards since Week 10.
With nearly 300 yards more than the second-ranked DeAndre Hopkins, Brown is simply in a league of his own as both an NFL receiver and a fantasy receiver. In his past four games alone he has 39 catches for 627 yards and 6 touchdowns, and there is no doubt he will be a recurring player on many fantasy championship rosters.
