Martavis Bryant was back working with the first-team offense Monday when the Steelers resumed practice after a four-day break on their bye.

The issue is whether the embattled wide receiver will be in that same spot Sunday when the Steelers open the second half of their season at the Indianapolis Colts.

After being benched against the Detroit Lions on Oct. 29 because of his controversial social media posts, Bryant is looking for a chance to rejoin his teammates on the field. He has been given no indication the benching will extend past that one game.

“I'm pretty sure I'm going to be out there,” Bryant said. “It's a long week. It's only Monday. I'll come back in here Wednesday, get the game plan and go from there.”

It appears Bryant is looking to make a fresh start, but that remains to be seen. He'll remain risky for fantasy lineups until he shows more. Smith-Schuster still appears to be a safer play.

Sources say Steelers indicated to Martavis Bryant he's part of the Week 10 game plan.

This reinforces their public stance not to trade him, the story also said. Perhaps they get blown away by an offer but a move doesn't seem likely, according to Jeremy Fowler. It would be hard for the team to demote Smith-Schuster after last week's performance, so even if Bryant stays with the Steelers, he's likely not going to have a major fantasy impact.

Martavis Bryant said Steelers HC Mike Tomlin told him he won't play Sunday.

Smith-Schuster should be the primary beneficiary. He has 2 touchdowns and 176 receiving yards in his last four games, and has a pretty good matchup against Detroit’s slot corner, Quandre Diggs.

Smith-Schuster now becomes a big question mark heading into Week 8 where the Steelers face the Lions on Sunday night. Those counting on JuJu will need a backup plan since it's a primetime game. The Steelers offense becomes an interesting situation, especially with all the Martavis Bryant drama.

Martavis Bryant took to Instagram Sunday night, stating his case for more targets.

The original post was a video of Ben Roethlisberger overthrowing Antonio Brown on third and 1 with the words "What Type of throw is This?" written above. The caption goes on to criticize Ben Roethlisberger for forcing the ball to Brown rather than throwing to Bryant.

Seemingly provoked by a commenter who tagged Bryant and told him JuJu Smith-Schuster is better, Bryant responded (light edited for clarity):

"JuJu is no where near better than me, fool. All they need to do is give me what I want and y'all can have JuJu and whoever else."

That comment has since been deleted.

Bryant did back track a bit in another comment where he complimented Smith. Bryant caught just one ball for two yards in Week 7. NFL Network reported a week ago Bryant wanted a trade but Bryant denied asking to be dealt.

In order to get Eli Rogers playing time in the slot and JuJu Smith-Schuster on the outside, Steelers WR Martavis Bryant might get a bit of break this week, according to QB Ben Roethlisberger on his recent 93.7 The Fan radio spot.

Bryant has been a disappointment for fantasy owners this season, recording only one game of double-digit fantasy points—Week 2, when he caught 3-of-4 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. In his other four games, he has totaled 12 catches, 113 yards, and 0 TDs. Bryant is currently ranked as our No. 40 WR in standard leagues and our No. 50 WR in PPR leagues in a great matchup versus the Chiefs, according to our aFPA metrics. It's a risk starting him with confidence this week, but with four teams on a bye, you might be forced to do so.

The Steelers have added WR Martavis Bryant has to the team's injury report (illness). He is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

Bryant was already a risky FLEX option this week against a Jags defense that's top-5 in our aFPA vs. WR rankings. Given his weekly volatility, you may want to start a more consistent option if available.
