  • Steelers WR Martavis Bryant has reportedly asked for a trade, unhappy with his workload this season after returning from suspension and finding himself in a Steelers offense that has largely struggled to find its rhythm.
  • Bryant only has 17 receptions through six games, but he does have 33 targets, more than all but 31 other receivers as the second target to the game’s best receiver, Antonio Brown.
  • While Brown leads the league with 3.11 yards per route run this season, Bryant ranks 60th with 1.25 yards per route run.
  • Bryant has always flashed supreme talent and racked up touchdowns in the past, but his down-to-down production has always been less impressive, and he doesn’t have an overall PFF grade over a season higher than 80.0 in his career. Brown currently leads the NFL with one of 93.6.
