Martavis Bryant gets 10 targets against the Ravens.

While Bryan received double-digit targets in the game, he had only 33 yards on six receptions. Known as a big-play threat, Bryant hasn’t had many of them this season. With JuJu Smith-Schuster set to return from his one-game suspension next week, Bryant carries risk as a FLEX option.

Eli Rogers catches three passes in Week 14.

Rogers gained 33 yards on his three receptions. He’s a contributor on offense, but Rogers’ role isn’t big enough to be a viable fantasy option.

Vance McDonald leaves game with a shoulder injury.

McDonald was playing very well against the Ravens, catching four of six targets for 52 yards. But his shoulder injury knocked him out of the game late. We should get more information in the coming days about McDonald’s status.

Antonio Brown goes over 200 yards as the Steelers clinch the AFC North.

Brown was given a ton of opportunities against the Ravens, as Ben Roethlisberger targeted him a whopping 18 times in the victory. AB caught 11 passes for 213 yards, as he picked up chunk yardage throughout the night, particularly on a few go routes where he probably got away with pushing off Ravens defenders. Next week against New England might be a big challenge if they try to completely take him out of the game, but it’s unclear what the Patriots will try to do. Obviously, you’re keeping Brown in your lineup as an elite WR1 regardless.

James Conner gets two carries in Week 14.

Conner gained six yards on his two attempts. He’s just giving Le’Veon Bell breathers right now, so Conner is only a handcuff for now.

Le’Veon Bell scores three touchdowns in Steelers’ win.

Bell had another outstanding all-purpose game to help the Steelers clinch the AFC North. He carried 13 times for 48 yards and two touchdowns along with nine receptions (on ten targets) for 77 yards and a touchdown through the air. All the touchdowns came deep in scoring territory and were huge in the one-point victory. Next week against New England, it’s possible the Patriots try to take Bell out of the game and force other players to beat them. However, he’s simply too good to keep out of fantasy lineups and could still have a monster game.

Ben Roethlisberger goes over 500 yards in win over the Ravens.

The Steelers really tossed the ball around the yard in this one, as they put up 19 fourth-quarter points to come back and clinch the AFC North with three weeks to go in the season. Roethlisberger was 44/66 for 506 yards and two touchdowns (and he added a five-yard carry), with the 66 attempts setting a new career high. The touchdowns were to Le’Veon Bell and fullback Roosevelt Nix, but his best connection was with Antonio Brown, particularly on deep go routes down the field. With next week’s matchup against the Patriots at home in Heinz Field, a hot Roethlisberger should be a strong option in fantasy lineups for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.
