Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, Markus Wheaton's Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction

R. Cory SmithNov 17, 2014

In the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, there are typically plenty of passes to go around for receivers. During Week 11, however, only one wideout received the majority of the love from Ben Roethlisberger.

Antonio Brown was that player, as he remained the one consistent receiver for Pittsburgh in its 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. Meanwhile, a breakout season for Martavis Bryant hit a speed bump and Markus Wheaton was overlooked against the Titans.

A shaky performance against the New York Jets appears to be in the rearview mirror for Brown, as he was the featured receiver against the Titans. Even on what amounted to an off night for Roethlisberger, Brown had another standout game for owners who needed to close out a win on Monday.

Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean points out one area where Brown exploited the Titans' secondary:

When Brown catches the ball might not matter to fantasy owners, but those targets prove he's still the most trusted option for Big Ben. They also lead to touchdowns, as Brown now has four through the last four games.

Though Bryant has typically shined since taking on a more prominent role with the Steelers, the rookie was far from explosive on Monday Night Football. Along with Bryant, Wheaton also wasn't able to do much with his targets as he was kept in check with just one reception.

Both will look to break out again for owners following the Week 12 bye against favorable opponents. Facing the New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons in the next three games, all three wideouts can shine.

Brown is still the most dependable fantasy player while Bryant remains an explosive flex option. As for Wheaton, his role continues to look spotty, but he should produce against the weak secondaries coming up for Pittsburgh.
