More importantly for him, those games were not with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who returns this week to face the Cincinnati Bengals at home. The Bengals are right in the middle of the rankings for matchups against receivers, sitting at No. 15 in PPR formats. Although, they arguably have the easiest schedule with just one plus-passing team in that span, the San Diego Chargers.
Fantasy impact: If you drafted Bryant, you took him to be your WR2 once he was over his suspension. That’s where his fantasy owners should be as the Steelers will need to score a bunch of points to hang with the undefeated Bengals. Start him.
