Over the offseason, the Oakland Raiders acquired one of the best receivers of the decade in future Hall of Famer Antonio Brown. Over the last six seasons, Brown has caught an incredible 686 passes for 9,145 yards and 67 touchdowns.
But despite his success over the past several years, oddsmakers aren’t convinced he has another elite season left in him.
According to OddsShark, Brown has just 15-1 odds to lead the league in receiving yards. Five other players have better odds than Brown, including Mike Evans and Odell Beckham Jr.. Take a look at the full odds sheet below:
If Brown can stay healthy for all 16 games (he has missed at least one game in each of the past three seasons), then it’s safe to assume he will eclipse 1,300 receiving yards, at minimum. Since 2013, Brown has averaged more than 99 receiving yards per game, and there is no reason to assume that number will drop, outside of the scenery change.
Look for Brown to be one of the most targeted receivers in the league and for him to challenge the likes of Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins for the most receiving yards in the NFL.
