Mike Wallace scores ridiculous TD to salvage poor fantasy outing on MNF
Mike Wallace had three receptions for 14 yards and a touchdown off eight targets during the Steelers’ win over the Chiefs on Monday Night Football. We break down the fantasy implications.

Wallace’s yardage was easily his lowest output of the season. He remains a touchdown machine, however. Wallace has now scored in six of nine games played this season.
Fantasy Impact: Wallace salvaged the night for fantasy owners with an absurd touchdown catch. Wallace beat his defender by a step, controlled the ball with one outstretched hand and caught the ball with his thighs as he rolled to the ground on his back. Oh, and he did this all in a downpour. Some might call the play a fluke. They should be reminded that great players make great plays, which in turn makes them great fantasy options. Wallace is a great fantasy option.
Give Wallace a mulligan this week for the poor output. He has pretty consistent bet to gain 50-plus yards receiving this season, and his solid scoring clip makes him at least a WR2 in standard fantasy formats. He should remain in your starting lineup in Week 11 when the Steelers play the Baltimore Ravens.
