The 10 Best Wide Receivers From the 2015 NFL Season
Antonio Brown was great again, but was he the NFL's top receiver based on analytics?

3. Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers

Reception NEP: 147.21

Despite having Ben Roethlisberger active for only 12 games, Antonio Brown once again dazzled, setting career highs in catches (136) and yards (1,834). He scored 10 receiving touchdowns and added an additional score on 22 punt returns.

He tied Julio Jones for the second most catches in a season, and his yards total was the fourth best season of all time. He also became the first player ever to record back-to-back 125-catch seasons.

Brown was fourth in yards after the catch with 587. Listed at only 5’10”, 181 pounds, Brown is clearly one of the most dangerous “small receivers” in the game.

Brown’s Week 17 performance at Cleveland (13 catches, 187 yards, 1 touchdown) helped propel Pittsburgh to the playoffs.
