Is this guy for real? Any Wallace owners (or anyone else) fear he is gonna steal from Mike?

Not really. Sanders is still the WR to own behind Wallace imo. Brown will be a solid 3rd WR when Ward retires though.

I don't think Brown will be pushing Wallace for time. He is going to push Sanders though. Last year it was expected that only one of Sanders or Brown would make the roster but they both did. This year Brown showed up in very good shape and had actually added 5 pounds of muscle over the offseason. I think he is the real deal but I don't know why he would not already be rostered. He was added over 10000 time yesterday on yahoo.

Yeah I have been adding Brown in drafts all off season, but as a Wallace owner that breakout game Brown had Saturday scared me a little. To the point I started considering offers like Dez for Wallace...

i picked up brown for a dollar during our fa bidding earlier this month, i hope he blows up at the begging of the season so i can trade him for a #1 in 2012, there are a couple of pit fans in my league i know will jump all over him if he has a couple of bog games to start the season

Emmanuel Sanders "might be the best route-runner on the team and reads defenses as well as the coaching staff," according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
While Antonio Brown is a raw playmaker, Sanders is the more polished receiver. If healthy, he's the one that projects as the No. 3 receiver and direct backup to Hines Ward. We still prefer Sanders to Brown as a flier in fantasy leagues as long as he makes it out of tonight's preseason finale without a setback. Sep 1 - 10:39 AM

Brown with a breakout game 7 catches for 102 yards, a few were key catches, I like him going forward to eventually be a solid fantasy WR3 as he takes over the WR2 gig in Pittsburgh

The more I see of Brown the more I like. If the Steelers use him as the Pats use Welker (I do see some comparisons) then I see him as a solid WR2 moving forward.

I wonder if Sanders will turn that receiving situation into a Jordy Nelson/James Jones mess. Any thoughts on that?

Antonio Brown has been rock solid in my return yard league all year long. I expect solid numbers from him, and having Wallace on the other side only helps his potential i think.

Just based on targets and statistics (not watching games) it seems as though Brown is clearly above Sanders, but I could be wrong.

Dude looks legit, I am starting to get excited about him, glad his first week sucked which let him fall to me on waivers, I think he could turn into a solid fantasy WR2, any other thoughts?
