Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Antonio Brown is clearly the No. 1 option in the offense for Ben Roethlisberger and is as consistent as they come at the position. He again caught at least five passes with over 50 receiving yards against the Houston Texans, marking 23 games in a row he has reached this mark.
He also simply finds a way to get you fantasy points, even if it requires throwing a touchdown pass like he did on Monday.

On the other hand, there are questions about who will step up as the No. 2 target in the offense.
Markus Wheaton appeared ready to take over this role in Week 1 with six catches for 97 yards. Unfortunately, he has done little since and seemingly cannot get on the same page as Roethlisberger.
According to Scott Brown of ESPN.com, he spent extra time in the film room with his quarterback to work out their problems, but this apparently did not help too much.
To make matters worse, the Steelers saw what Martavis Bryant can do when he gets a chance to play. The rookie fourth-round pick was active for the first time Monday night and came through with a 35-yard touchdown reception for his first career catch.
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller liked what he saw in the play:
Brad Evans of Yahoo Sports notes the young receiver could be headed for big things:
While he was mostly quiet otherwise, he at least showed he can make a play when called upon. At 6'4", he has a major size advantage over Wheaton and provides something even Brown cannot give them: a big target for Roethlisberger.
Wheaton has good quickness and can make things happen with the ball in his hands, but he does not complement Brown as well. His chances could be running out with the Steelers, and they should already be out for your fantasy team. Feel free to drop him if you need the spot for someone else.
Meanwhile, it might still be a bit too early to grab Bryant off waivers. But those in dynasty and keepers leagues should certainly keep an eye on the situation going forward, as he has the talent to be a quality option at receiver.
As far as Brown is concerned, keep him on your team if you have him because it is rare to find such a consistent option at the position. Plug him in the lineup regardless of the matchup and watch him carry you to a title.
