Martavis Bryant – WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

All it took was Landry Jones to come in and heave the ball up to Martavis Bryant in the back of the endzone for Bryant's 2015 to be kickstarted. Sunday was Bryant's first action after being suspended and injured for the first five games, which saw him see eight targets in six catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns.

His first touchdown was a "go up and get it" type ball that allowed Bryant to use that 6'5" frame, as well as his football IQ when he got the knee down before falling out of the back of the endzone. Most of those yards came on a slant route that saw Bryant make a few defenders miss and then show off incredible breakaway speed down the right side of the field for 88 yards. Size, hands, and speed. Bryant's got a lethal skillset that should produce plenty of points for owners, especially when Ben Roethlisberger comes back.

Lamar Miller – RB, Miami Dolphins

Oh, so that's what the Dolphins can do with a competent coaching staff. Ain't that a hoot. Lamar Miller churned out 113 yards on 19 carries and got a touchdown in his first game with Dan Campbell as Head Coach for the Dolphins.

In his first four games Miller was averaging about 10 carries per game, so it is more than encouraging to see him double that under new management. He responded well to the extra workload, showing a burst that we hadn't seen out of him yet in 2015. It's worth reaching out to Miller owners to see if he's still available via trade.

Chris Ivory - RB, New York Jets

Chris Ivory wants to be taken seriously this year. He pretty much spat in the face of anyone who propped up the Redskins as a good run defense with 146 yards on 20 carries with a touchdown. Oh, and he tacked on three receptions for 50 yards. Pretty darn decent line he put together there. While the Jets still exploited the poor secondary of Washington, it was more the skill of the Jets' receivers rather than that of Ryan Fitzpatrick. He threw some terrible passes, but Brandon Marshall and company made some exceptional plays.

Ivory displayed that he has the skills to carry his weight in the receiving game now too, adding another weapon to his arsenal out of the backfield. No longer strictly a bruiser running back, he has shown bursts of speed and agility outside of the tackle box as well as still being able to pummel safeties coming up to plug a gap. Ivory is an unquestioned RB1 in 2015 and it's not debatable.
