Fantasy Impact: With Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson slowed by injuries in recent weeks, Avant was expected to get a bigger role than usual in the offense. That hasn't transpired, however, as he has only 11 catches for 128 yards and zero TDs on the season. With Maclin and Jackson both getting back to 100% now, Avant will probably go back to being the 3rd or 4th option in Philly's passing offense. He's not a fantasy option against the Steelers and should be sitting on the waiver wire in most leagues.
