Wide Receivers

Antonio Brown and DeAndre Hopkins each recorded top-two weekly finishes last week, finishing with over 20 fantasy points each. The only other receiver to record a 20+ point week in Week 14 was Davante Adams. Adams continues to play stellar football despite the loss of quarterback Aaron Rodgers back in Week 6. Adams has the exact same overall fantasy ranking (WR7) in 2017 as he did in 2016. The same cannot be said for teammate Jordy Nelson. Nelson has fallen off a cliff since Aaron Rodgers’ departure. Nelson has totaled an…

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…

I guess this is the part where we talk about Odell Beckham Jr. again. He's dealing with a sprained ankle that could force him to miss a game or two, hence why he's moved down the rankings from No. 3 to No. 4. It's still possible that he's ready to go come Week 1, but drafting an already injured player could be fatal. He's still worth a first-round pick, but the glass really is half empty here. His tantrum following the tackle scared me more than the injury itself, and if we've learned anything from Dez Bryant, it's that you…
