Antonio Brown: Stock – up

Antonio Brown is now above 1,000 yards for the sixth straight year. He is also 19 receptions away from his sixth straight 100-plus reception season.

These are both due to his big game Sunday catching 10 passes for 154 yards and a score. He now has 12 touchdowns on the year, one-off from tying his career best.

Brown is having a “down season” by his standards but is still on pace for 108 receptions 1371 yards and 16 touchdowns which is still great for a wide receiver in the NFL.

Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster are now the only wide receiver duo to both be over 1,000-yards. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are the other pair of teammates to do it.
