Antonio Brown breaks 100 all-purpose yards on Sunday Night Football: Fantasy Implications
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has 100-plus all-purpose yards on primetime. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

Brown led his team in yards, with 96 on five receptions. He also had two carries for 13 yards in the primetime win.
Fantasy Analysis: Even more than Mike Wallace, it seems Brown is the No. 1 receiving option in this Steelers offense. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has gone to Brown time and time again since he can count on him battling hard for those extra yards. This also pleases fantasy owners who count on him week to week.
Brown is a versatile threat in that he can run all the routes, being a deep threat or YAC machine. He is also a capable scoring threat on any given week. Consider Brown a fantasy must-start each and every week.
