Steelers WR Martavis Bryant is facing 4-game suspension for violating Substance Abuse Policy, per league sources. Suspension under appeal.

This will only affect Thursday games as the Steelers meet the New England Patriots in the Suspension Bowl in Week 1. There are currently no contests that include that game at FanDuel, so pricing is likely going to be adjusted to reflect Bryant's absence. Look for Markus Wheaton—who has been garnering praise all offseason—to get a major bump.We were already going to see a sky high cost for receiver Antonio Brown, but he might be one of the best cash plays of the week regardless. He's liable to get 15-plus targets with Bryant and running back Le'Veon Bell out of the lineup. Heath Miller might be a nice GPP option, too, if his price is low enough.
Where the suspensions help pass-catchers that are actually playing, they hurt quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Combined with an injury to star center Maurkice Pouncey, Big Ben's early-season fantasy projections are taking a tumble.
