Antonio Brown caught seven passes for 90 yards on 12 targets against the Ravens on Thursday night. His final stat line was helped out by the way the Steelers moved the ball in garbage time; Brown caught three passes for 46 yards on the final drive of the game before Ben Roethlisberger was intercepted.
Antonio Brown racks up garbage time fantasy points in Week 2
After briefly leaving the game with a concussion scare, Brown returned to have little impact until the fourth quarter.

Brown left the game and headed to the locker room in the first quarter after taking a big hit from Darian Stewart. He wasn’t sidelined long, though, as Brown returned to the field after passing concussion tests.
Fantasy impact: It wasn’t easy to watch, but Brown’s night could’ve been much worse. He avoided an injury and became the focal point of the passing game in garbage time.
Brown caught at least five passes in every game last season. He never finished with fewer than 50 yards in 2013. Even though the Steelers offense might struggle, Brown is always a reliable starter. Pittsburgh has a tough matchup with Carolina next week. Brown will surely lead the team in targets.
