Martavis Bryant

Week 5 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Bryant caught 3 passes for 48 yards last week in a semi-quiet game. He's going to continue to be a bit boom or bust given his deep ball abilities. He's second in the league in passes thrown to him 20+ yards downfield and is averaging 23.7 yards on the depth of the pass attempts thrown his way. Both he and Ben Roethlisberger have talked about how they need to hook up. It will come. But it might be difficult this week against Jacksonville's top-rated pass defense, which is helped by an NFL-best 18 sacks. Use Bryant as a WR3 with some upside. He's been a monster at home throughout his career.

Week 3 at Chicago Bears

Martavis Bryant showed off his enormous upside with 3 receptions for 91 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown on a crossing route and a 51-yard catch on a bomb. Bryant also had 7 yards on an end-around to go along with drawing a 49-yard pass interference penalty that would have been another long catch had he not been tackled before the catch. Bryant now has 16 touchdowns in 23 career games, which is outstanding for a receiver, no matter how you look at it. He's a solid WR3 with plenty of upside in any format.

Week 1 at Cleveland Browns

I asked Martavis Bryant this week if he'd like to announce his presence to the league with authority. He said, of course. You can expect the Steelers want to do so as well so they can show future opponents they can't focus solely on Antonio Brown. If the Browns decide to go zero coverage on Greg Williams' blitzes, Bryant will destroy them. He's out to show that one of the league's top deep threats is back. Use Bryant as a No. 2 receiver this week with plenty of upside because of his deep ball ability.
