The Pittsburgh Steelers will get Martavis Bryant back in Week 5 after his suspension was completed and he should be a solid fantasy football starter for the team alongside Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell. Michael Vick will be in at quarterback again for Ben Roethlisberger, who is out with an MCL sprain for a stretch of the season.
The Steelers have started the season 2-2 and after losing in tough fashion to the Ravens, the team now will travel west to play the San Diego Chargers. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Bryant has returned to the team and has started practicing with the Steelers and he is "expected to play" in Week 5 against the Chargers, which is a Monday night football showdown. Michael Vick said to the Gazette that Bryant "is motivated" and that he is "very impressive" coming back from his suspension.
Bryant is a great redzone target for the team and last season he had a breakout year with the Steelers as a rookie. While Bryant had just 26 catches in 10 games on the season, he had 549 yards and eight touchdowns. Bryant averaged 21 yards per catch and he was one of the most consistent targets for the team down when they are trying to score. Although Big Ben remains out, getting Bryant back is huge for the Steelers and should only help Michael Vick keep things going with Roethlisberger injured.
Vick was up and down for the Steelers in the last game with 124 passing yards and a touchdown and he will be looking to get things going in Week 5. Bryant is worth starting in most leagues and the best players for the Steelers (as usual) remain Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell in fantasy. Bell should continue getting plenty of work with Roethlisberger out and he comes in after putting up over 150 total yards against the Ravens. Bell had 129 yards rushing and added seven catches in the game and he now has 191 yards and 14 catches for 91 yards in just two games played.

The Steelers have also made some other roster moves, as the team opted to release Josh Scobee after his tough game against the Ravens. According to Pro Football Talk, the team announced that they released Scobee following his two crucial field goal misses last week contributed to the loss against Baltimore. The misses led the Steelers to lose in overtime and ESPN reports that the team is signing Chris Boswell. Adam Caplan reported the news and it came after Scobee went just three for seven on field goal attempts this season. Boswell has not appeared in an NFL game yet, but he has spent time with the Texans and Giants previously.
