Antonio Brown's absence from Steelers Monday due to 'personal matter'
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown's absence from meetings and film review on Monday was related to a "personal matter" and there is no desire to be traded, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
It's not clear if Brown's absence was excused by the team or not. The receiver replied "Trade me let’s find out" Monday to a tweet claiming Ben Roethlisberger is the reason for Brown's success, but Rosenhaus insists it was merely social media banter. There have certainly been rosier times in Pittsburgh but this shouldn't have any impact on Brown's Week 3 status when the Steelers visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
Brown is currently the top overall receiver in numberFire's Week 3 fantasy rankings. We expect him to produce 19.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $8,800 versus the Bucs on Monday night.
