I'm still in the "take-a-RB-#2" camp. So this may be bias, but since this has been dissected to the Nth degree, just thought I'd throw this out there:
  • Worth noting that the Steelers had the 3rd-ranked offense in 2017. Third ranked passing team.
  • Ben hasn't played a full season since 2014. Granted, he only missed a handful of games, but 14 years in the league may be taking a toll on Ben. His completion % has been dropping each of the last 3 seasons. The drop-off for some aging QB is quick and unforgiving.
  • Surprisingly, Antonio hasn't played a full season since 2015. He's good and he's talented. But that doesn't mean that age and those 1100 career targets aren't catching up with him.
    • Side point that for as many yards as Antonio racks up, his TD numbers are low. (He had 9 TD.) WR2 Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster had half as many targets/receptions yet had 7 TD.
  • Based on points and yards allowed, the Steelers play the 9th-hardest schedule this year. So it won't be easy for a group of 30-somethings.

Brown was big in 2015 and 2017. In 2016, Bell was big, especially late season. I think Brown has 2016-like numbers.

It's fine but Brown in 2016 wasn't churning out the monster games he had last year.

He had a 200 yard game against Baltimore last year. He had several games abover 130 yards. He will never duplicate 2015 especially at 30 years old.

If it were me. RB because WR depth can happen in a 3rd or later and get the same return
