8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 6
Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
FanDuel Price: $9,700
Projected Points: 17.3
We already mentioned his teammate, Le'Veon Bell, on here, but with the Steelers projected to score 27.5 points this week, there is plenty of room for two players to have a big fantasy day.
Antonio Brown currently leads all wide receivers with 93.2 FanDuel points this season, and he has racked up at least 18 points in four of five games. He is second behind only Mike Evans in receptions and is tied with three other players for the most touchdowns among all receivers.
This week, he'll be up against the Dolphins, who have allowed the third-most FanDuel points to opposing wide receivers this season. On the left side, where he lines up 46% of the time, he will primarily be dealing with Tony Lippett, who has allowed an awful 0.60 fantasy points per route to opposing receivers this year. That's the second-highest fantasy points per route total behind only Shareece Wright (0.63), who was benched last week. Brown will also see coverage from Byron Maxwell, who grades out just five spots ahead of Lippett as the 58th-best cornerback, according to Pro Football Focus.
Brown, who is averaging 0.56 fantasy points per route, has a big advantage over any of the cornerbacks that he'll be up against in Week 6.
