Steelers | Martavis Bryant to be involved in Week 10?
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Martavis Bryant will be part of the team’s Week 10 game plan, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys View: Bryant was a healthy scratch for Week 8 against the Lions. We saw rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster go off with seven catches for 193 yards and one touchdown. With Bryant more involved that will take some targets away from Smith-Schuster, but we still like him as a flex option. Bryant is more of a ‘what the heck’ flex in deep leagues until we see that he’s focused and actually used in the offense. He’s only been targeted 36 times so far in 2017.

Bills | Charles Clay unlikely to go Week 9
Buffalo Bills TE Charles Clay (knee) is ‘going to have a hard time making it’ into the lineup for Week 9 against the New York Jets, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
Footballguys View: No surprise here as the Bills have a short week. They play against the Jets in Week 9 on Thursday Night Football and will be without Clay once again. We’ll continue to see Nick O’Leary and Logan Thomas filling in at tight end.
Colts | Indy works out four quarterbacks
Free-agent QBs Matt Barkley, Matt McGloin, Josh Johnson and Connor Shaw worked out for the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
Footballguys View: It’s not a good sign for Andrew Luck’s recovery if the team is looking at free agent QBs. Luck has already been declared out for Week 9 and there continues to be a growing possibility that we don’t see him at all in 2017.
Steelers | Cameron Sutton returns to practice
Pittsburgh Steelers CB Cameron Sutton (hamstring) practiced for the first time Tuesday, Oct. 31, since he was placed on Reserve/Injured list before the start of the season.
