All good, no need to panic. He's on pace to catch 92 balls for 1107 yards. He's just not an end zone target and I'm not sure why some people expected that to change, I preached it all preseason. Lets look at the schedule though..CIN, WAS, NYG, KC, BAL, CLE, BAL, SD, DAL, CIN, CLEHe is my WR2 after Demaryius Thomas. I'm just frustrated that Brown is in YR 3, got Paid, in a Todd Hailey offense and isn't doing much this year.
I just need to know from the Shark Pool if its time to get out while he has value or if I'm overreacting and need more patience? I need to learn more patience anyway being that I have 4 daughters.
Neither.
Not sure about that either. In ppr Wallace has what 10 more points? Give me the guy who's targeted 10 times a game.

He is my wr4 and I'm not happy with him. Dude just disappears in some games. I drafted him think I got a steal BC he is such a huge cog of that offense. Move the chains kind of guy. He is not even that...not on a consistent enough basis unfortunately. Last night was an absolute cake matchup for him and everyone had lofty expectations for him, myself included. Forget Tds, I was thinking 5-8 catches, 100+ yards was a no brainer against the putrid titans defense.
It's the consistency issue. Chris Johnson ran for 1000 yards last year but did most of it in 4 games. If you started him in any of the other games you were fuming. I personally thought, after they prioritized him with a nice contract in the offseason, that they planned to make him a more consistent cog in their offense. The OP is on to something he just didn't state it I the rt way. Brown lacks consistency and predictability that many thought he would have this year.

Before last night he had double digit points in every game and including last night hes had atleast 4 ctaches in every game. Hes had atleast 9 targets in every game. What kind of consistancy are u looking for.It's the consistency issue. Chris Johnson ran for 1000 yards last year but did most of it in 4 games.

What he's really saying seems to be "I consistently want him to score a touchdown or have 100 yards." Which is what everyone wants from every one of their players, but not really a realistic way to approach things.Before last night he had double digit points in every game and including last night hes had atleast 4 ctaches in every game.

Errr, he is more consistent this year than last.He's on pace to put up almost identical numbers to last year, yet his game high is 87 yards. Last year, he had several bigger games mixed in with some real stinkers (1-16, 2-27, etc).It's the consistency issue. Chris Johnson ran for 1000 yards last year but did most of it in 4 games.

Yes but my point is that, preseason, when you took everything that was happening into account:1) Wallace holds out2) steelers flip the bird to Wallace. 3) steelers award a nice contract to brown essentially double flipping he bird to Wallace. 4) 3rd year breakout potential from brown. I for one was expecting much more consistency from brown. I was expecting him to be a consistent mce the chains kind of guy. Like a welker, always involved (until this year) with 5-7 Tds. I was expecting more consistency. Elite consistency. At the end of the day am I broken up about it? No. I drafted the guy in like the 7th round I think. He is performing like his draft status. But I drafted him in the 7th rd thinking he would perform like a 3rd rd wr pick. Thankfully, I have several other better and more consistent wrs ahead of him that will securely plant his ### to my bench until he shows me more reliability (ie showing up in cake matchups like last night). There is no need to nitpick my point or the ops point. There are many people that thought that brown would take a HUGE step forward this year. I was one of them. We were wrong thus far.

No matter how you twist it you're reminded that FF is mostly luck. Discount Wallace's "fortunate" 82 yard TD, I'm sure Wallace owners are fine with your criticism. As much importance as you put on Brown's targets, why do you not give Wallace props for his explosiveness? Truth may be that Wallace is a playmaker who doesn't need a lot of targets to make big things happen while Brown is a chains mover who is a really good possession WR.
he should have caught that ball - right in his hands.
Long way to go Ghost.The kid is the real deal a great WR in the league and a solid fantasy option every week as a WR3He was being drafted between WR2 and WR3 and that is where he should be slotted. But he has a high ceiling this year IMO as a high end WR2 and if he explodes with some TD's he can creep into WR1 status.WR's are tough year to year other than some of the usual suspects. TD's are highly cyclical as well. But Brown get's oodles of targets most weeks.
With all due respect....Wallace is a great WR...no question. But Brown also has plenty of speed and wiggle to break big plays. His role may be more of the chain mover....but this kid can get deep as well as turn a WR hitch into an 80 yarder as well.
What did I say that was incorrect? He's a very good possession WR. That doesn't mean he can't make things happen.
Having the talent and speed to break big plays and actually doing it are two different things. Wallace scores touchdowns; Brown does not. That much is very clear at this point. Since the start of last year: Wallace: 12 touchdown catches on 93 catchesBrown: 3 touchdown catches on 98 catches
Fixed! Idiot...
Bossy.I think too many FGB subscribers here are over thinking a post like this. I'm asking for your opinion on whether its time to sell on Antonio Brown as he is the most targetting WR for the Steelers and on the heels of a pretty good year last year? Or in Dynasty be patient and he will still have some WR2 value? If you don't have an opinion on that then DON'T POST ANYTHING HERE. Go elsewhere with your snide and rude comments. They have no place here. Sheesh.
Doesn't change any of the content. If you want to dump a 3rd year guy with a new 5-year contract getting 8-10 targets a week coming off an 1100 yard season after his first sub-74 yard game of the year...you probably shouldn't be in dynasty leagues.I think too many FGB subscribers here are over thinking a post like this.

Ok thanks. My belief is No
Not saying you said anything wrong per se but Brown can take one target to the house just like Wallace. He has that big play ability as well.
