Martavis Bryant expected to see 'increased role' Sunday for Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant will have an "increased role" against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

What It Means:

Rapoport reported earlier this week that Bryant recently requested a trade, so it's possible the Steelers are looking to boost his market value, but they also may want to make an effort to appease the talented receiver with more targets. Bryant saw a season-low 3 targets against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6 and has scored only once this season.

Bryant is numberFire's 60th-ranked fantasy wide receiver for Week 7. He is projected for 27.2 yards and 0.13 touchdowns on 2.0 receptions and 4.3 targets, good for a yield of 4.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,400.
