Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

FanDuel Price: $9,200

Projected Points: 18.18

Last week, Adam Jones and the Bengals held Brandon Marshall to 3 receptions for 32 yards. Normally, we wouldn’t target a defense like that, but we’re talking about Antonio Brown here.

He has led all wide receivers in fantasy points for each of the past two seasons, and Brown's 24.6 points in Week 1 finished behind only Cooks. He racked up 126 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns on 8 receptions -- with 113 yards and both touchdowns coming against Bashaud Breeland.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have the seventh-highest implied total (25.75) this week, and their clash with the Bengals boasts the seventh-highest over/under (48.5) of the week. When the over/under is greater than 45 and the Steelers are a home favorite, Brown has averaged 22.67 fantasy points per game over the past two seasons.

Regardless of the less-than-ideal matchup, Brown is primed for another week as a top option at wide receiver.
