Wide Receiver

Antonio Brown: Start

I don’t think Kansas City has a player in the secondary with any chance of covering AB. That, plus my expectation of a high volume, high scoring day for the offense leads me to see Brown as probably the top receiver this week.

JuJu Smith-Schuster: Start

JuJu had a solid outing in week one, as the clear number two in the passing game. He should have an even better game this week. I’ve outlined it already but I believe this matchup will lead to big production by Steeler receivers.

James Washington: Sit

Washington started his career with minimal playing time and no receptions in week one. I expect that to change as the season progresses. Washington is very talented and should get more and more time as the season progresses. It’s just too early to consider him a fantasy option.

Justin Hunter: Sit

I felt obligated to include Hunter this week as he was the third receiver on Sunday. That probably continues this week as well, however, I don’t see Hunter ever becoming a viable fantasy option with all the talent elsewhere in the receiving corps.
