No. 5 Antonio Brown vs Cleveland

Another second matchup between division rivals. The first tie of many in 2018 went to these two teams and I doubt they’re forgetting that any time soon. Brown is coming off his best stretch of games this season and the Steelers are 3-1 in that stretch.

The last four games? Brown has 318 yards and five touchdowns including at least one in each matchup. Brown has only been held without a touchdown in one game this season, the Week 2 loss to Kansas City.

Fun fact time, sound the alarm. Brown only has one touchdown inside the red zone this season. Inside the 50 and just shy of the red zone? Five touchdowns. Brown is a threat from deep and I think this week especially with a banged up Cleveland team sitting at 2-4-1 to keep that streak going.

Brown has been consistent at home and on the road this season and I mean really consistent. 20 receptions at home and 20 on the road with three touchdowns in each. It’s all about consistency. Brown is an absolute no brainer this week and I think the Steelers win this one going away.
