Antonio Brown up in the air for Monday

All-world Steelers WR ANTONIO BROWN is currently dealing with a toe injury that sounds like no big deal -- or it would, but Pittsburgh has the Monday night game in Week 13, so 30 teams' worth of potential substitutes at the position will be unavailable to you at kickoff time. Under ordinary circumstances you might just cross your fingers and hope, but word came Saturday that the team is preparing as if Brown will not suit up, which would seem to suggest that caution is in order. At minimum, if possible, add a lesser wide receiver from either the Steelers or their MNF opponent, Cincinnati. Alternatively, if you have a decent Sunday fill-in ready to go, you might just plug him in now. The Steelers are on the road, after all, and as we have chronicled all week, the huge majority of their big passing games come at home.
