Antonio Brown disappoints fantasy owners with mediocre Thanksgiving
Brown has been on fire lately, but he finished with just 59 yards receiving on Thursday night. We break down the fantasy implications.

Brown was coming off back-to-back games with touchdowns. He now has 85 receptions in 2013, which currently leads the league.
Fantasy impact: It was bound to happen at some point. Brown has been a model of consistency throughout the season, but he was probably due for a mediocre game. PPR owners still managed to pick up 10 points from his Week 13 performance.
The Steelers face the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Brown will easily remain in the WR1 range for that matchup. He has already set a career-high with six touchdowns, and another personal best is on the way with receiving yards. It’s hard to complain about anything he’s done this season.
