 | Fantasy Sleeper: Antonio Brown |
|
While Mike Wallace has been holding out, Antonio Brown has been working to build chemistry with Big Ben. Want evidence of this? Look no further than last night's preseason victory over the Bills when Brown led the team in targets (9) and scored 2 TDs. He showed his versatility by catching one TD pass (a short one) from Big Ben -- and the other (a 39-yard bomb) from Byron Leftwich.
Even with the holdout, Wallace is still being considered a borderline fantasy WR1. I am seeing him go in 3rd/4th round in most fantasy formats. That is fine; Wallace looks like he will be good to go for Week 1. However, while Wallace is going that high, Brown's ADP is around 60 -- a full two rounds after Wallace -- where he is being drafted as a WR3.
From a value standpoint, I see little difference between Wallace and Brown. I would still lean toward Wallace given the past production, but Brown represents much greater value several picks later in the draft.
