Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been maybe the league's best wide receiver through the first month of the season. Though it was his worst game so far, he continued to show his strength in the team's 17-9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday.
Antonio Brown has least dominant fantasy game of the season
The Pittsburgh wide receiver still managed 84 yards, but it was his worst game of the season. We break down the fantasy implications.

Brown had 84 yards on five catches in the game. He had gone for at least 90 yards in all his other games so far, and scored at least one touchdown in three of four. No other Steelers player had more than 46 receiving yards Sunday, with wide receiver Markus Wheaton limited to one catch for 17 yards.
Fantasy impact: The fact that Brown’s worst game of the season was still 84 yards and eight fantasy points says a lot about how good he’s been this season. The one troubling thing about Brown’s game was the fact that his five catches came on 12 targets -- his other five-catch game this season came on six targets, and he’d been much more efficient catching passes before Sunday.
Still, Brown is an every-week must-start in fantasy now. He’s in the top five at the position no matter what.
