Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant has just one touchdown catch in 2017. A Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs isn’t exactly what the doctor ordered for his fantasy owners

Bryant has 15 catches for 204 yards to go with his lone touchdown this season.

Fantasy impact: It wasn’t too long ago that Bryant was a highly touted, physical, speedy receiver with the potential to be a top gun in the NFL. Suspensions side tracked that.

These days he’s competing with Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown for touches. Being the third option is obviously hurting him. He’s surpassed 50 yards receiving just once this season. He’s also had more than three receptions in a game just once this year.

It’s tough to start him in lineups right now, even in deep leagues. He’s got to sit down right now until he can prove to be a consistent contributor in fantasy lineups. Its just not working out for him so far in 2017.
