A few minutes ago the NFL announced that it was suspending WR Martavis Bryant for four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Ben Roethlisberger takes a hit. Markus Wheaton continues his rapid ascension. Heath Miller also gets a bump.
As for Bryant, he's dropping from 61st overall on my draft board to 137th. On a per-game basis, he still has a chance to be an every week starter, but it's too soon to know how this will impact his role on the team. The Steelers certainly need him as a deep threat. That said, if Wheaton solidifies his role, Bryant might fall to the 4th or 5th receiving option on the team (almost certainly behind Bell, and maybe behind Miller).
In leagues with small benches, I'm recommending that Bryant be dropped. In deep-bench leagues 10-team leagues where there are plenty of WR4/5s with upside on waivers, it's a toss-up.
As a result, there are some significant updates on the top 250 board. And I finally figured out how to make the following link permanent, so you can click on it anytime to see the latest version (before I kept having to change the link each time I uploaded a new version). So feel free to bookmark this; I'll continue to update it 2-3 times a day:
