Fantasy Impact

Bryant played eight games with the Raiders in 2018 before being indefinitely suspended for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Before playing in Oakland, Bryant played three seasons in Pittsburgh. The former 2014 fourth-round pick out of Clemson will look to show the NFL that he’s clean and willing to stay that way. Bryant in his career has 145 catches for 2,183 yards and 17 TDs. Until he gets officially reinstated and signed by an NFL team, he’s probably not even worthy of a roster spot in the deepest of fantasy leagues. Let’s see if Bryant can first be officially reinstated by commissioner Roger Goodell.

Fantasy Impact

Bryant is currently on IR and will be a free agent after the end of the season, but it's very likely that he's done as an NFL player at this point. The move was always a concern this season, and it finally came to fruition. If he wasn't already, Bryant can be dropped in all formats.

Fantasy Impact

It was certainly not the season Bryant or his owners hoped for entering the year. The Raiders traded a third-round pick for his services, but he was ultimately cut before being re-signed. The team has been a trainwreck overall, and Bryant will have an opportunity to leave via free agency this offseason. Given his track record, he's worth a stash in deep dynasty leagues to see if he can catch on with another team, even with another suspension looming.

Martavis Bryant has been ruled out for Week 12's contest against the Ravens due to a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

Bryant also missed Week 11, and he'll remain sidelined by the knee injury. He should have an opportunity to be a primary target once he's able to return due to process of elimination, but given the state of the offense that doesn't mean he'll be fantasy relevant.
