Antonio Brown - http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13934/antonio-brown
A.J. Green - http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13983/aj-green
Pretty even if you ask me. Brown has been in the league about a 1/2 season longer so Brown has the slight edge in yards, receptions and targets. Green has the edge in total TD's heading into '16 (Green- 45, Brown- 38) and that's with Brown being targeted 81 more times than Green throughout their respective careers. Yesterday's Jet game aside.
Also last season specifically both Brown and Green hauled in 10 touchdown receptions yet Antonio was targeted a full 15 times more than Green. Green also had a higher average per-reception in 2015 at 15.1 (which also matched his 2014 average) to Brown's 13.5.
Both great threats down the field and about as even as it gets. I still would take Green being the more reliable deep threat, pass catcher and overall NFL WR.
