What do we make of Antonio Brown in a dynasty format? He’s still a great receiver, and he’s caught a career-high 15 touchdowns this year. But he’s also 30 years old, and there are a lot of other good wide receivers who are a lot younger.

Brown in theory could still put up top-3 receiving numbers for a couple more seasons. You could arguably put him at the top of the board among wide receiver and come out ahead of those who go prefer younger receivers who are good but never come close to reaching a Brown-type level of production.

But age is a factor when looking at long-term rankings. Great as he is, Brown has had a few injuries. He’s got a knee issue right now, and he missed time with a calf injury at the end of last season. There also have been reports of some off-field incidents, including charges he threw furniture off a hotel balcony that nearly struck a toddler, and a citation for speeding at over 100 mph.

And with one eye on age, you have to wonder if Brown is even the best wide receiver on his own team. JuJu Smith-Schuster has been pretty awesome his first two years, and he’s 8 years younger.

Tyreek Hill, Michael Thomas and Mike Evans are all at least 5 years younger than Brown, and I put them all higher on my board.

The following rankings are based on standard scoring and assume fantasy franchises have the ability to protect players indefinitely. Basically, you get a player like DeAndre Hopkins (my No. 1), and he’s yours for as long as you want him.

I’ve been posting dynasty rankings all season long, hitting one position (QB-RB-WR-TE) each weekend. To see previous lists, click on the “older” link at the bottom of the page.
