WR Duds

Antonio Brown-Pittsburgh Steelers: Ben Roethlisberger can’t come back soon enough for Antonio Brown and his owners.  This week, Brown only had three catches for 24 yards.   He was defended well, but since Big Ben’s injury he has only averaged 37 yards per game.

Randall Cobb-Green Bay Packers: The Packers got the win on Sunday, but it wasn’t because of a big game from Cobb. He finished with only 38 yards on just two catches while drawing five targets.

A.J. Green-Cincinnati Bengals: Green was completely shut down by the Bills  finishing with only 36 yards on his four catches. He was still targeted seven times, and he should be just fine going forward, but he has been held under 100 yards in all but one game this season.  In that one game, though, he did go off for 227 yards.

Kendall Wright-Tennessee Titans: Wright complained about not getting the ball, but he only had four catches for 34 yards while being targeted only five times. He’s likely going to be inconsistent with Mariota struggling at QB, but I think both he and Mariota will bounce back as long as Mariota’s knee injury isn’t serious.

Andre Johnson-Indianaplois Colts: After a big week last week, Johnson went back to his invisible self catching just two passes for 21 yards in the Colts loss to the Patriots.

Mike Wallace-Minnesota Vikings: Wallace was in a great matchup against the Chiefs, but he failed to deliver finishing with a dismal 23 yards on his two catches. It looks like the go-to receiver in Minnesota is now Stefon Diggs not Mike Wallace.
