Steelers confirm Antonio Brown out for Week 16 against Houston

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Antonio Brown (calf) will not play Week 16 against the Texans.

What It Means:

Brown was injured against the Patriots in Week 15, but the Steelers are considering themselves fortunate given how bad it looked at first. With Brown sidelined, Juju Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant should see an uptick in targets against the Texans.

Brown is averaging 18.6 FanDuel points per game so far this season.
