55. Week 7 Projection: Standard: 12/PPR: 17. WR. Pittsburgh Steelers. Antonio Brown. 3. player
Start ‘Em #3
Last week, I had Antonio Brown as a sit because of his lack of production since Ben Roethlisberger went d0wn a few weeks ago due to injury.
In Week 7, Roethlisberger is unlikely to play, so why have I changed my position on Brown for this week?
Well, there are two reasons really; First, Mike Vick aggravated a groin injury last week, giving young reserve QB Landry Jones a shot at the starting gig. Jones is a better overall passer than Vick is in my opinion.
Secondly, the Steelers play the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. The Chiefs allow the most fantasy points in the NFL to opposing wide receivers. Brown should be able to take advantage of that regardless of who his quarterback is with all of his talents.
I would start Brown as a #2 WR this week.
