It has been a disappointing season for Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Martavis Bryant. Week 2 withstanding, Bryant has been held under 50 yards receiving and out of the end zone. The most balls he has caught in any game this season is three, and he has not been targeted more than eight times in any matchup.

Sunday the Steelers host the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have the best passing defense in the NFL behind shutdown corners Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. Bryant should line up across from Ramsey for most of the game.
Fantasy impact: Owners should be prepared for another frustrating week because it will probably be another disappointing outing for Bryant. Always a deep threat, he has struggled all season against average and sub-par defenses. It is highly unlikely he will have a turnaround performance against the best passing defense in the NFL.
