lesjroza 70 Posted July 20, 2020 Seen a few smart guys advocate taking him in drafts for the upside risk/reward....... but I wonder how much they can stomach after the latest post. It could be a contract ploy aimed at a team he was close with, but if so, and this continued behavior isn't the final warning flag then I guess any team that signs him will get exactly what they deserve. AB @AB84 · 53m at this point the risk is greater than the reward thank you everyone who been part of this journey i sincerely thank you for everything! life goes on 84! https://twitter.com/AB84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polecatt 471 Posted July 20, 2020 He was done as soon as he was gone from the Steelers. I had him on one of my dynasty teams and I dropped him like the 2nd or 3rd week of the season last year. He got picked up immediately, and dropped not long after. He was picked up again, and he's still on that team. He's on a team in all 4 of my dynasty leagues. It's funny how some people will hold onto players in dynasty. I think Josh Gordon still is on a team too, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted July 23, 2020 I thought about it in auction. Track record of players returning mid season has not been great though recently. M. Ingram, G. Tate. Hunt did ok but totally not worth sand bagging a spot that long. He could be a league winner but the stars would have to line up perfect. Playoff bound team, desperate at WR, large bags of targets. I would only entertain it if confirmed return NLT WK 5. If anything, throw him up there early for like $1 and sand bag another roster when the put up $2.

Dude was making some sick grabs, and had plenty of juice even with freezing his feet. He overplayed his hand with the Clown act, and that window slammed down right on his fingers. They close quickly in this league, especially when you're a knucklehead. All he had to do was come into Oakland, work for about 70 catches and 900-1,000 yards, and he could have walked away a few million richer with a puncher's shot at a gold jacket. Now the fool will never wear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he could still be a 1000 yard receiver for the next couple of seasons or so if it were just on the field concerns. I think he's incapable of playing due to off the field concerns. I don't think he can go through a full season, or even close, without some sort of big issue or incident. He's gone off the deep end. He's not coming back. I'm sure the Steelers came to that same conclusion when they let him go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 471 Posted July 31, 2020 He's been suspended 8 games, so maybe that's a start for him to get back on the field https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29572202/nfl-gives-antonio-brown-8-game-suspension-violating-personal-conduct-policy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Law 239 Posted October 21, 2020 If I had a scrub that I was never going to play, I might add AB just to see what happens, but I am in no way dropping a viable player for someone not on a team, with doubt they even want to play, and will not be a top option on whatever team they sign with. Again, maybe if I add an endless bench but I don't so I won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 471 Posted October 21, 2020 He's not really any different than the numerous other players in similar situations. That would be, once they were a fantasy star, they fizzled out for any number of reason, his would be insanity, then they need money so they come back after significant time off. They very, very rarely come anywhere close to their peak. If you're lucky, he will be a flex player. The odds are, he's worthless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,008 Posted October 22, 2020 He was picked up, the owner dropped Hardman for him, now that’s a pretty good move. But I was hoping for someone to drop someone worth picking up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smileseers 54 Posted October 22, 2020 Antonio Brown has more upside than the last guy on most team's bench. I picked him up today. The hype will build and hopefully I can package him in a trade in coming weeks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goggins 146 Posted October 22, 2020 We have deep benches so I have no problem dropping one of my 8-10 pts/wk guys on my bench for AB. I have 6 bye week flex spot starters warming my bench and only one flex spot to fill each week. AB will most likely do jack shite but in the 3% chance he hits then I have a WR starter for the stretch run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobSanders_33 127 Posted October 22, 2020 AB is a great bottom of the bench penny stock play. I dropped Damien Harris for him in a deep bench full ppr. If he signs with Seattle, TB or GB there will be value. Either he is a flex/bye week replacement or someone will take him as an appealing trade add-on.

rotisserieking 55 Posted October 22, 2020 10 hours ago, Smileseers said: Antonio Brown has more upside than the last guy on most team's bench. Bingo. I dropped Jeff Wilson for him so really no risk whatsoever on my part here. If he gets picked up and actually plays maybe he'll produce. I'm not counting on anything other than if I did NOT block him, an opponent would grab him and he would undoubtedly go off against me. Been that kind of year.
