4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 17

Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

DraftKings Price: $8,700
Projected Point: 22.9

The Pittsburgh Steelers need to win their matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 at Heinz Field. If they lose this game they are out of the playoff picture. As it stands, they not only need to win, but they need the Baltimore Ravens to lose to the Cleveland Browns. While they can't control their own destiny, they can control their own outcome of the game and preserve hope.

In a must-win situation, I believe that Antonio Brown is going to get absolutely peppered with the football. He has scored 22.9 DraftKings points per game at home in 2018 and is coming off a massive 14 reception, 185 yards receiving, and 2 touchdown game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. In that game, he was targeted 19 times as Ben Roethlisberger was locked into Brown. The result was a massive 47.5 point DraftKings outing for the future Hall of Fame wide receiver.

In the Week 6 matchup against the Bengals, Brown was targeted just 6 times but hauled in 5 receptions for 105 yards and 1 touchdown. While his home splits are pretty much dead even with his away splits for the entirety of the season, his last five games at home have been something special. In those five games, Antonio Brown has hauled in 32 receptions for 519 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns. Those numbers average out to 6.4 receptions, 103.8 yards receiving, and 1.4 touchdowns per game.

Is he expensive? Absolutely, but I am paying up for this stud over all other options on the main slate.
