Brown had another fantastic game in Sunday's 51-34 win over Indianapolis, grabbing 10-of-13 targets for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
Brown did most of his damage in the second quarter, catching a pretty eight-yard touchdown over his shoulder midway through the period, and adding a 47-yard score just a few minutes later. Brown continues to play at an exceptionally high level, posting his 24th straight game of five or more receptions, which is an NFL record. He'll have a tough matchup next week against Baltimore, but we wouldn't necessarily bet against his reception streak coming to an end.

A. Brown saw a game-high 13 targets and had nine receptions for 90 yards in the Steelers' 30-23 win against Houston on Monday night. He also completed his lone attempt for his first career touchdown pass.
The touchdown pass came on a gadget play, a fake WR sweep-turned-reverse, finding Lance Moore in the end zone, allowed Pittsburgh to overcome a 13 point deficit with just over one minute remaining in the first half. This was another big game for Brown, who also had a touchdown reception reversed on replay for failing to get a second foot in bounds.

Brown had seven catches on 10 targets for 118 yards Sunday against the Browns.
Brown had only three targets in the first half but exploded in the second, making many wonder why he wasn't a bigger part of the offensive attack in the first two quarters. He continues to be the top receiver on a team that has thrown the ball quite a bit this season, as he's recorded double-digit targets in every game since Week 1, while topping the 100-yard mark in three times.

Brown had five catches on 12 targets for 84 yards Sunday against the Jaguars, extending his NFL-record streak of catching at least five passes for 50 yards to 21 games.
Brown had a bit of a let-down game after racking up 221 yards and four touchdowns in the two games before Sunday's. He also had a 17-yard reception called back for an offensive line penalty that kept him from posting his second consecutive 100-yard game and third of the season. Nevertheless, Brown continues to be the top receiving option in Pittsburgh and will face off against Browns defense in Week 6 that he torched for 116 yards and a touchdown in Week 1.

Brown had seven catches on 11 targets for 131 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Buccaneers.
Brown has been absolutely on fire this season, as he now has 427 receiving yards (third in the NFL) and five touchdowns (tied for first) through four games. The only downside is that he dropped a sure touchdown that would have put the Bucs away in a game they ultimately came back to win on a touchdown with seven seconds remaining. Brown's excellent play has a great chance to continue, as the Steelers will face off against the Jaguars' 32-ranked pass defense in Week 5.

Brown caught all 10 of his targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-19 win over the Panthers.
Brown has picked up right where he left off last season, with 22 receptions for 306 yards and three touchdowns on 28 targets through three games. One-third of Ben Roethlisberger's passes went in Brown's direction Sunday night, as the former sixth-round draft pick continues to serve as his team's clear top option in the passing game. Markus Wheaton is second on the team with 20 targets, followed by Heath Miller (15) in a distant third. For the second year in a row, Brown looks like one of the league's best wide receivers, both for fantasy purposes and the Steelers.

Brown caught seven passes for 90 yards and rushed two times for 10 yards in Thursday's 26-6 loss to the Ravens.
Brown gave his fantasy owners a scare when he left Thursday's game for a spell to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but he was able to return and finish the contest.
Thu Sep 11 201421:17Antonio Brown: Returns To Action Thursday
Brown has passed all concussion tests and will return to Thursday's game, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Brown gave fantasy owners a scare when he left the game in the first quarter, but it sounds like he'll be back in action before the end of the first half. He'll continue to be a key component in the Pittsburgh offense, especially with the Ravens short-handed at the cornerback position.
Thu Sep 11 201420:46Antonio Brown: Leaves Game To Be Evaluated For Concussion
Brown left Thursday's game in the first quarter to be evaluated for a potential concussion, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Brown was noticeably shaken up after taking a big hit from Ravens' defensive back Darian Stewart on a route across the middle. He'll need to pass the league's standard concussion protocol before being permitted to return to action. Currently, the team is classifying is status as "questionable."

Brown caught five passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 30-27 win over Cleveland Sunday.
All of Brown's production came in the first half, with his touchdown coming on a 39 yard reception from a scrambling Ben Roethlisberger. Surprisingly, Brown was targeted just once in the second half. He also broke a long punt return and was heading for an apparent touchdown, but was called for unnecessary roughness when, while attempting to hurdle Cleveland punter Spencer Lanning, he kicked him in the face. Unless we learn of an inury that caused his statistical second half absence, Brown is a must start, despite the short week, when Pittsburgh faces Baltimore in Week 2 Thursday.

Brown caught three passes for 59 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles.
Thursday's stat line is of less import than the fact that at this stage, Brown approaches the coming season healthy and entrenched as the Steelers' top wideout, on the heels of a 2013 breakout campaign in which he recorded 110 catches (good for second in the NFL) for 1,499 yards and eight TDs.

Brown caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants.
The Steelers have plenty of questions at wide receiver, but none of them have anything to do with Brown, who is far and away the top dog of the group. He got it done without a ton of help to draw the attention of opponents last season, and should once again see somewhere in the range of 10 targets per game. Emmauel Sanders left for Denver, but the Steelers signed Lance Moore, and are expecting bigger things things from Markus Wheaton in year two. Fourth-round rookie Martavis Bryant could also emerge as a factor, and 2013 sixth-round selection Justin Brown is said to be having a strong camp. None of them present a real threat to (Antonio) Brown.
Mon Jul 14 201408:11Antonio Brown impresses his position coach
Steelers receivers coach Richard Mann said Antonio Brown looks "smoother" this season.
It doesn't sound like Brown has gotten complacent as he comes off a sparkling 110-1,499-8 season. "He doesn't really look like the same guy. He's made a transition," Mann said. "He's very confident. He's matured. He understands the concepts." Brown is going to be featured heavily once again this season, especially with Emmanuel Sanders and Jerricho Cotchery gone. Another 100 catches is well within reach.

Fri Jul 11 201412:43Antonio Brown fires Jay-Z's Roc Nation
Antonio Brown has fired his representation from Roc Nation, and is planning to return to Rosenhaus Sports.
It's a slow news day. Brown joined on with Jay-Z's Roc Nation not too long ago when it was the flashy, fun thing to do. Now, Roc Nation has lost its luster. Brown is entering year three of a six-year, $43 million deal. He finished second in the NFL with his 101 grabs and 1,499 receiving yards. Brown is a locked-in WR1.

Sun Dec 29 201316:21Antonio Brown makes history as Steelers roll
Antonio Brown caught nine passes for 87 yards in Pittsburgh's Week 17 win over the Browns.
With the effort, Brown becomes the first player in league history to post at least five catches for 50 yards in all 16 games. His 1,499 receiving yards should end up second in the league. It's everything the Steelers were hoping for and more when they chose Brown over Mike Wallace. Capable of getting open at will over the middle of the field, Brown can also beat No. 1 cornerbacks deep. Going on 26, Brown will be a WR1 for 2014.

Thu Dec 12 201310:22Antonio Brown's stats finalized at 5/138/1
Antonio Brown's Week 14 stats have been finalized at five catches for 138 yards and one touchdown.
There was some controversy over Brown's stats because of the game-ending lateral play he was involved in. It turns out that his yardage from the play will stand, even though it looked like he received an illegal forward pass. Brown now has three 100-yard games in his last five outings as he preps for a matchup with the Leon Hall-less Bengals this week.

Sun Dec 8 201318:58Antonio Brown weaves way for 137 yards, TD
Antonio Brown caught five passes for 137 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Dolphins.
Brown continues to be a total freak with the ball in his hands. His big play in this one was a 43-yard touchdown that came on a simple shallow cross that he burst around/past a series of defenders on his way to the house. Perhaps fantasy's most underrated WR1, Brown now has 89 catches, 1,240 yards and seven touchdowns with three games remaining. He's a good bet to shred the Leon Hall-less Bengals in Week 15.

Fri Nov 29 201300:18Antonio Brown reels in five passes in loss
Antonio Brown caught five passes for 59 yards in Week 13 against the Ravens.
Brown was targeted eight times on the night, finishing fourth on the team behind Heath Miller, Emmanuel Sanders, and Le'Veon Bell. Brown saw a ton of Lardarius Webb and Jimmy Smith in this one, and Smith has turned a corner in 2013. He's playing more physical. It's the first time Brown has been held under 71 yards receiving in the past six weeks. He'll be back on the WR1/2 radar next week against the Dolphins.
