Glad my fantasy draft  
gmen9892 : 8/27/2015 2:54 pm : link
is not until tonight. Had him as a sleeper later on.
if by sleeper you mean  
SirYesSir : 8/27/2015 2:59 pm : link
5th or 6th round pick...
Markus Wheaton  
Mark C : 8/27/2015 3:03 pm : link
is now the sleeper. He's having a good camp, and apparently is getting big props from Roethlisberger.
yeah on what planet was Bryant a sleeper?

In fairness - the term 'sleeper' at this point... there's a lot of free, good research out there on guys.. .has become really tough.

It's like calling Kelce or Davonte Adams a sleeper.
Yeah Bryant is not a sleeper

He was the 2nd WR on a 5,000 yard passing team and a RZ body

I had him on my list as well for a mid to late round steal.

Sorry, maybe sleeper was the wrong term, but someone that I was going to take later in the draft. The guy is a 3rd WR (Wheaton has had a really good camp and was the 2nd WR for most of the year last year too).

He was not a 2nd WR last year. I had him on my team. Very good player but was largely TD dependent.

Yeah, last year. He's their #2 this year and was on track to take the next step.
I don't like this suspension  
SimpleMan : 8/27/2015 4:10 pm : link
because I saw Bryant as someone that was going to be very overdrafted. Yes, he has a lot of upside, but he only caught 26 passes last year. He still has a lot to prove for me to take him as early as some people are. I was waiting for people in my leagues to take him real early and let a better value slide to me.
That explains why the Steelers  
Joe in Cambridge : 8/27/2015 4:17 pm : link
have been talking up Wheaton throughout the preseason.
It will be reduced  
ZogZerg : 8/27/2015 5:14 pm : link

its that evil marijuana again! blasphemy!
Here's a question for FF  
TheShade : 8/28/2015 8:01 pm : link
Since Pouncey went down, how much of an effect do you think it will have on the seasons of Antonio Brown, Big Ben, Le'Veon Bell, and Wheaton?
