Steelers' Antonio Brown poised to surpass 2016 numbers

numberFire's models project Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio Brown to improve upon last season's performance to the tune of 112.8 receptions, 1,444.4 yards and 10 touchdown catches.

What It Means:

In 15 games, Brown tallied 106 catches, 1,284 yards and 12 touchdowns on 154 total targets in 2016. He finished the year with 201.3 fantasy points, which ranked him third among pass catchers, behind Jordy Nelson and Mike Evans. With Martavis Bryant back from suspension and Ben Roethlisberger looking to play all 16 games, the sky is the limit for Brown in 2017.

As we project Brown for 206.7 fantasy points, he ranks atop the wide receiver position and 6th among all players in our draft kit. If you want him on your squad, he is, on average, going with the 4th pick in standard 12-team drafts.
