Antonio Brown Placed On COVID-19 List
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. In order to be eligible to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams, Brown would need to have two negative tests 24 hours apart. The 33-year-old came out firing in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys with five catches for 121 yards and a touchdown, but he was quiet in the Week 2 win over the Atlanta Falcons (one catch for 17 yards). Fantasy managers won't know until later in the week if Brown has a chance at playing, but for now you'll need to make other plans at the receiver position. Scotty Miller would likely see more snaps if Brown doesn't play while working behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is a top-10 tight end, should remain heavily involved.
