Business is still boomin’ in Antonio Brown’s world, and an end doesn’t appear to be in sight. It’s AB’s world, we’re all just living in it. Maybe soon he’ll start getting consideration for MVP. But for now, he’ll have to settle for the top spot in our Week 15 wide receiver PPR rankings.

The Steelers’ No. 1 wideout faces a New England defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing receivers, and Brown also has JuJu Smith-Schuster returning, which will help prevent the Patriots defense to zero-in on him.
Also near the top of our rankings sit Keenan Allen, Michael Thomas and Julio Jones, of course, with respectable matchups against the Chiefs, Jets and Buccaneers, respectively.
Oh, and more importantly, Josh Gordon is nearing the top 10.
Lastly, proceed the Green Bay wideouts with a little bit of urgency this week. Aaron Rodgers appears to be returning, so Jordy Nelson may finally be fantasy-relevant for the first time in weeks, and Davante Adams should at least post a favorable statline with the roll he’s on. But, with most injuries, even though Rodgers seemingly is a freak of nature, you just never know what exactly will happen in a player’s return to action after missing multiple weeks.
