The 10 Best Wide Receivers for the 2014 Fantasy Season
6. Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers
| Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 110.6 | 1,413.95 | 8.82 | 194.78 |
Antonio Brown was a PPR monster last year, snagging 110 balls on 166 targets. As you can see, our projections expect him to keep up that pace, with good reason, too. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost Emmanuel Sanders and his 67 receptions this offseason, as well as veteran Jerricho Cotchery. This leaves a void to be filled, with the most likely candidate being second-year man, Markus Wheaton. Wheaton has six career receptions, a statistic that lends to the notion that Brown is going to be thrown to, and thrown to a lot. Brown finished seventh in Reception NEP last year, and with his expected volume to remain unchanged from last year, Brown is a good bet to record similar numbers. Especially in PPR leagues, where we have him ranked even higher.
