Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown was spotted at the Bucs' practice on Wednesday with a crutch.

Fantasy Impact

This escalated rather quickly, as Brown went from a vague sprained ankle despite a mini-bye to missing Sunday's game and now he's seen at practice with a crutch. We have to wait for practice reports this week, of course, but it is really difficult to see Brown suiting up in Week 8 against the Saints given the presence of a crutch. His absence would again boost the outlook for both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Per Doug Kyed, Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown has been ruled out Sunday with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

After suffering an ankle injury during last Sunday's blowout win, Brown will now miss this Sunday's game. The news comes at no surprise as the veteran WR failed to practice all week. Expect both Chris Godwin and Mike Evans to be top-15 WR's in most ECR.

Per Greg Auman of The Athletic, Tampa Bay WR Antonio Brown continues to be sidelined by an ankle issue as he missed Thursday practice.

Fantasy Impact

Brown has been one of the top targets for the Tampa Bay offense but after two straight missed practices his status heading into Sunday vs the Bears is trending in the wrong direction. If Brown does play he will be a high-upside WR 2 for fantasy. If unavailable, fellow WR Tyler Johnson should be more involved but realistically it will be Mike Evans and Chris Godwin who benefit the most.

Brown is reportedly dealing with an ankle sprain. He suffered the injury in last Thursday's Week 6 win over the Eagles. It's unclear at this time if he'll be ready to go for Week 7.

Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown caught 7-of-8 targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 5 win over the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Brown and Mike Evans both went for a pair of scores. Brady threw five total on the day. Despite a slew of upside pass-catchers, Brown has seen his fair share of targets on a weekly basis. He gets the Eagles in Week 6.
