Steelers WR Martavis Bryant reinstated for preseason activities

Per Steelers GM Kevin Colbert: WR Martavis Bryant has been informed by NFL he is now permitted to participate in all preseason activities.

Fantasy Impact: 

Bryant sat out the 2016 season after multiple failed drug tests, so he's a risky pick, even if he is on track to be reinstated. Still, it's good news that he'll be allowed to practice while he continues to move towards full reinstatement. Given his production, he's worth the risk, though his ADP has been hovering around the 4th/5th turn. In 24 career games, including the postseason, Bryant has averaged 4.0 receptions for 65 yards and 0.67 touchdowns, or 14.5 PPG (PPR). That would have been good enough to finish as the #13 WR in 2016, ahead of Jarvis Landry and Julian Edelman. He has posted similar numbers (4.4-67-0.56) in his last 16 games, which extrapolate to a 71-1074-9 season.
