You would think he would get more targets elsewhere- he may obviously see more coverage. Tough to know really but I doubt his ADP would be affected by a move.
I can think of several places that would negatively effect his ADP. I'm a bit taken aback by how it (his ADP) wouldn't or couldn't be negatively affected by being traded away from a good offense, strong armed qb who excels at the deep ball and at extending plays. To be frank; There are FAR worse places for him to be than in Pittsburgh as their wr2 behind A.Brown. :think:

Anyway, to the OP, Bryant is a guy I'm not interested in. If I can get him for a future mid 3rd, sure. I don't expect that price, and I'd rather have the roster spot used on a guy that isn't one screw up away from being a convenient store clerk somewhere. I'm quite content letting someone else worry about him.

Sure there are worse spots. Sure his ADP could be affected negativly. I'm not sure where you got couldn't from. But on average I don't see being Pittsburgh any better or worse than average. Rothesburger is terrible on the road- his deep ball stats for 2016 were middle of the pack. Their RB is a beast. Bryant could be a number 1 somewhere else. Their last number 2 Emmanuel Saunders had far stats better in a new environment. Saying Rothesbugers is 'good at extending play's' is great fodder for commentators passing the time but I'm not sure it should play a lot into our fantasy analysis.

I guess i'm on my own island, but i've offered 1.12 for him and wasn't able to buy. This guy is an athletic freak and has been highly efficient when on the field. If the reports are true that he added 20 lbs of muscle, this guy is going to be an absolute monster. I want him bad.

In a PPR Contract Keeper league where I had Willie Snead and could have given him a 2-year contract, I traded Willie for Bryant. I'm not sure this helps for Dynasty. I also tried trading a 3rd rounder for him a couple months ago with a not so active owner in a dynasty league. He never responded however not sure he had seen the offer before it expired. My risk in the Snead deal is not that big due to I would be investing only 2 years in either player and my wr corp in that league is solid. My opinion is Bryant's ceiling is huge for this season. Big Ben's talk of retirement and the schedule for the Steeler's looks pretty decent. I can see this being a big year for the Steeler passing game.

You have to be willing to take a risk now and then to win. I think Bryant could be a could short-term reward at the very least. Being a new dad has helped a lot of bad dudes become model citizens. You have to be willing to be okay with the risk even if it blows up in your face. I think that is the tipping point for me. If Bryant gets busted on his next drug test. I'm okay with the risk I took it just didn't work out.

This is it right here. If everyone is doing the same thing the one who steps out from the pack will have a different outcome, good or bad.

Bryant is going to be worth a mid-early 1st halfway through the season if not sooner. Great buy and flip for a profit opportunity if you can actually get him for less than a late 1st imo.

I gave up 1.12 and 2018 1st (Should be 1.10-1.12) for Bryant. I feel great about the trade, pairing him with a solid floor guy like Tate..oh boy, look out!

I stay away from guys with addiction issues and players whose desire to play the game I question. Bryant checks both those boxes. My philosophy served me well as I never owned a share of Blackmon or Gordon.
