Sterling Shepard

Antonio Brown left Week 15 with a partially torn calf muscle and will not play in Week 16. This is a significant blow for fantasy owners as we head to the fantasy championship round. There is no easy fix for replacing fantasy’s overall WR1. One player who may help soften the blow to fantasy owners in Week 16 is Brown’s teammate, Martavis Bryant. Bryant entered 2017 with huge expectations after missing 2016 due to suspension. He was drafted as a low-WR2 in most leagues but has been a massive disappointment. Bryant enters Week…

Antonio Brown proved once again why he’s the best receiver in the NFL in Week 13. He gutted out a toe injury and posted an overall WR5 performance in Pittsburgh’s come-from-behind victory on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown will likely finish the year as the overall WR1 for the third time in four years, and finish as a top-4 receiver for the fifth consecutive campaign. The first of those years was 2013, when a 22-year-old phenom by the name of Josh Gordon captured the overall WR1 spot. That year, Gordon…

Antonio Brown was the fantasy star of Week 11, posting a career-high 32.4 fantasy points in Pittsburgh’s victory against the Tennessee Titans. Brown became the first wide receiver to hit the 1,000-yard mark this season, and now trails DeAndre Hopkins by just 3.3 points for the lead as the overall WR1 on the season. Adam Thielen continues to be one of the best fantasy stories of 2017. Drafted in the middle rounds of most fantasy drafts as an upstart WR4, Thielen is the overall WR4 on the year after putting up his third…

We’re back with another wide receiver matchup report. Another four teams are on bye, making it difficult to deploy a fully-powered lineup. No worries, as our favorable matchups include two players, one being the Giants' Sterling Shepard, who are usually flex plays that could be WR2s this week. Not to mention, our sleeper pick is unlikely to be owned in your league and could provide some instant production for your lineup. If you have any questions feel free to ask me on Twitter, @JonSauber. Favorable Matchups Marvin Jones…

We’re back with another wide receiver matchup report. This week is NFC East heavy and features a few receivers who have been fantasy disappointments to this point in the season. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Twitter @JonSauber. Favorable Receiver Matchups Alshon Jeffery vs. Washington Last week, Jeffery racked up double-digit targets for the second time this season. That’s a good sign for the Eagles’ number one wide receiver. He had the chance for two more big plays, but he was interfered with by…
