Steelers' Martavis Bryant could get breaks in Week 6
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant could be given 'a break' from time-to-time this week, says quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
What It Means:
Roethlisberger's suggestion isn't as much about Bryant as it is JuJu Smith-Schuster and Eli Rogers. On his weekly radio spot, the quarterback said that he expects Eli Rogers to return to the fold in Week 6, following a stint in coach Mike Tomlin's doghouse. That could lead to Rogers getting time in the slot while Smith-Schuster provides Bryant with some breaks on the outside.
Bryant is 2nd among Steelers wideouts with a snap percentage of 71.19% this season. He is averaging 7.2 FanDuel points with 31 targets on the year. This week, though, we project him for 41.2 yards, 0.31 touchdowns and 7.7 FanDuel points on 3.4 catches and 6.6 targets against the Kansas City Chiefs.
