Martavis Bryant Week 14 vs. Bengals
Martavis Bryant's quick start to his career has slowed in recent weeks. Last week, he managed just one reception for 23 yards. He's still getting quality targets and dropped a touchdown pass again last week. He's been targeted in the end zone five times in the past two games, so there's still some potential for greatness. But Cincinnati has allowed just six TD catches by opposing wideouts this season. Use Bryant as a low-end No. 3 receiver or high-end flex and hope for the best. But know that he's only playing on about 40% of the Steelers offensive snaps.
Martavis Bryant Week 13 vs. Saints
Coming out of the bye week, rookie Martavis Bryant should be ready to resume his strong pace with six touchdowns in his previous five games. He and Ben Roethlisberger failed to hook up in the end zone a few times in Pittsburgh's last game. But Roethlisberger is looking Bryant's way a lot. He should be a nice start as a No. 3 receiver this week with plenty of upside.
Martavis Bryant Week 11 vs. Titans
Martavis Bryant still makes some rookie mistakes here and there - his soft route led to a Ben Roethlisberger interception at the goal line - but the fact he's getting those kind of looks is heartening. The rookie had four receptions for 143 yards and a touchdown - an 80-yarder - last week and has emerged as a big-time threat. He's got six touchdowns in his first four games, an NFL record. Keep playing him until somebody stops him.
Martavis Bryant Week 10 vs. Jets
Over the past three weeks, Martavis Bryant has been more valuable that Dez Bryant. Think about that for a second. He scored two more touchdowns last week to go along with three catches for 44 yards. That gives the rookie five touchdowns in his first three games, tying an NFL record. Can he make it four games in a row with a score? The Jets have allowed an NFL-worst 24 TD passes, so there's no reason to think not. He's currently only playing about 50% of the snaps, but usage has been trending upward. Bryant is a low-volume, high-point potential No. 3 receiver.
Martavis Bryant Week 9 vs. Ravens
In two games, Martavis Bryant has seven receptions for 123 yards and three touchdowns, including a line of 5-83-2. He also dropped a slant that would have easily resulted in him going over 100 yards and possibly ending in a third score. Baltimore's pass defense has not been good on the road this season and the Ravens have struggled with bigger receivers. Bryant would be a nice sleeper No. 3 starter or, at the very least, a nice flex play.
Martavis Bryant Week 8 vs. Colts
Martavis Bryant made his debut for the Steelers against Houston and caught two passes for 40 yards and a touchdown on five targets. The Steelers want to use him deep three or four times per game. That will make him a high-risk, high-reward kind of player moving forward.
Martavis Bryant Week 1 vs Browns
I don't look for Martavis Bryant to play this week due to a shoulder injury.
