Fantasy Slant: Steelers' WR Martavis Bryant Fully Reinstated

After being granted conditional reinstatement earlier in the summer, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant has received full reinstatement by the NFL after being suspended the entire 2016 campaign for violating the league's substance abuse policy multiple times. 

This is some absolutely huge fantasy-related news right here. After all, the 25-year-old Bryant figures to start opposite Antonio Brown in what should be a prolific Steelers passing attack with Ben Roethlisberger under center. 

His last NFL action saw Bryant put up 50 receptions for 765 yards and six touchdowns bakc in 2015. He averaged a whopping 15.3 yards per catch and 8.3 yards per target. Overall, Bryant has recorded 76 receptions for 1,314 yards and 14 touchdowns in 21 career games. 

Look for Bryant to act as a top-end WR2 in 12-team leagues this season. He should be valued in the fifth round in re-draft leagues with a little weaker rankings when it comes to dyno leagues due to his substance abuse issues.
