This fantasy football season isn’t filled with just injuries. There have been plenty of bright spots. One of those has been the Pittsburgh Steelers. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been playing out of his mind the last couple of weeks. As a results, the receivers are benefiting greatly. One of those pass-catchers came out of nowhere and has seen a jump in ownership. Martavis Bryant is a must-start wide receiver in Week 10.

Bryant was inactive for the first six weeks of the season. He played his first game in Week 7 and caught two passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. He came back the next week with five catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Last week, Bryant hauled in three passes for 44 yards and two more scores. Over those three games, he caught 10 passes for 167 yards and five touchdowns.

It looks like Bryan has surpassed Markus Wheaton as the Steelers No. 2 wide receiver. However, the team still revolves around Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell. In addition, Roethlisberger won’t continue to throw six touchdowns every game, so touchdown totals are likely to drop.

The Steelers streak will most likely continue against the New York Jets. The Jets secondary is one of the worst in the league. The defense allows 21.7 fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, 11th-most in the league. Roethlisberger should have a field day against the Jets, which makes Bryant’s fantasy value skyrocket.

Bryant is still available in 58.7 percent of ESPN.com leagues. With six teams on bye in Week 10, he is worth a flex start in 10-12 team leagues and a low-end WR2 in deeper leagues. Expect four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown for 12 fantasy points.
