Steelers trade WR Martavis Bryant to the Raiders

Apr 26, 2018

We've heard rumblings before of the Steelers wanting to trade WR Martavis Bryant and they finally pulled the trigger during the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, sending him to the Oakland Raiders for a third-round pick (79th overall).

Fantasy Impact:

The emergence of JuJu Smith-Schuster (58 catches, 917 yards, 7 TDs) last season made Bryant expendable. Bryant will likely compete with Seth Roberts for the third receiver role in Oakland. When on his game, Bryant, who won't turn 27 until December, has all the potential in the world to be an impact receiver on the field and for your fantasy roster—he scored 14 combined TDs in his first two seasons—but his on-field presence is a question mark after missing the entire 2016 season due to suspension. Raiders QB Derek Carr has averaged 561 pass attempts in his four-year career, so it's a great landing spot for Bryant.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
