Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Antonio Brown has been one of the top players in fantasy football this season and is clearly the most consistent receiver in the league. He scored again in Week 8, this time on a one-handed grab that impressed everyone, including ESPN's Skip Bayless:
If you are lucky enough to have him on your team, keep him in your lineup every week and don't look back because he is someone who can help you win a championship.
However, there is a lot more of a debate about who is the No. 2 option in Pittsburgh. Markus Wheaton seemed like he would be a breakout fantasy star earlier in the year, but rookie Martavis Bryant has come on late.
While they both scored against the Colts, Bryant is the one who is clearly trending up at this point in the season. He size at 6'4" was huge in the end zone on his score, and he also reeled in a 52-yard reception in the first half. The second half featured another touchdown reception for the rookie.
Mike Tomlin later spoke about Bryant and the team's usage of the wide out, via Dale Lolley of the Observer-Reporter:
Albert Breer of NFL Network noted his thoughts from the perspective of opposing defenses:
Bryant was active for the first time last game and came through with a 35-yard touchdown catch. Roethlisberger already trusts him, especially with a bunch of targets in the end zone.
Although you might want to see a bit more consistency before starting him, he is now a must-add in fantasy leagues as someone who can become a star in the future.
Wheaton finally showed some signs of life, but he has not been the factor the Steelers were hoping for, and he can remain on waivers in fantasy.
