Steelers counting on Brown by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer (1/16/2013) The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the Steelers ended up paying receiver Antonio Brown approximately the amount of money they intended to pay Mike Wallace this year, but he didn‘t exactly play like a No. 1 receiver. Brown‘s three-game injury absence (high-ankle sprain) set him back as he failed to duplicate his team MVP season of 2011, when he was a 1,000-yard receiver and kick returner. Brown caught nearly as many passes (66) as he did the season before (69), but his yardage dropped from 1,108 to 787 and his punt return average declined from 10.8 yards to 6.8. He also badly hurt the Steelers with second-half fumbles that ended up being the pivotal plays during road losses to the Raiders and Cowboys. “A point of emphasis for me will be protecting the ball better, becoming a better route receiver and a better return man,” Brown said.
