Antonio Brown has restructured his contract.

A messy salary-cap situation has given the Steelers restructure fever. Signed to a six-year, $43.04 million deal just last July, Brown's 2013 base salary is only $2 million. That means the savings will be minimal. Ben Roethlisberger should be up next.

Antonio Brown had five catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

Brown consistently beat Bengals CB Adam Jones and scored from 60 yards out on a strike from Ben Roethlisberger at the end of the first half. He secured five of his six targets and was arguably the best player on the field for the Steelers. Since returning in Week 13, Brown has 22 receptions for 266 yards and three touchdowns. The Steelers face the Browns in their regular season finale.

Antonio Brown caught eight passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's Week 15 loss to the Cowboys.

It was a perfectly fine afternoon from a fantasy perspective, but Brown wounded the Steelers with a host of mental mistakes. Brown fumbled twice - losing one - and cost the Steelers field position by lining up too deep on a late fourth-quarter punt. Then with the Steelers looking to convert a 3rd-and-26 with 0:47 remaining in a tie game, Brown inexplicably ran out-of-bounds on an 11-yard grab, enabling the Cowboys to keep a timeout. It was the kind of performance that lands a player in the doghouse, though the Steelers may not have that option after Emmanuel Sanders departed with a rib injury. Brown will be a WR3 for the fantasy finals against Cincinnati.

Antonio Brown (illness, probable) says his ankle still isn't 100 percent, but nothing will hold him out for Week 15 versus the Cowboys.

Brown says there remains a "stinging pinch" in his right ankle when he aggressively plants that foot in the turf. "I can't make that move to do what's necessary without feeling the pain," said Brown. It might explain why Brown has only reeled in nine of his 19 targets since returning from the high-ankle sprain in Week 13. He checks in as a middle-of-the-pack WR3 this week.
