4 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 1
Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
FanDuel Price: $9,000
Projected Points: 17.9
After leading all wide receivers in FanDuel points per game over each of the past three seasons, Antonio Brown will likely be in play as a top option every week this season. But with Le'Veon Bell likely missing Week 1 due to a holdout, Brown's outlook becomes even juicier.
Check out how Brown's numbers were boosted in the 16 games without Bell since the pair became teammates in 2013, provided by the Rotoviz Game Splits App.
And while we're at it, let's take a look at how Brown has fared against this week's opponent, the Cleveland Browns, over that five year span.
