Steelers WR Mike Wallace won't play versus Browns

The Steelers will be without wide receiver Mike Wallace @Wallace17_daKid this Sunday against the Browns. The explosive deep threat didn't practice all week because of a strained hip and was officially ruled out on Friday. Antonio Brown @AntonioBrown84 and Emmanuel Sanders @E_Sanders88 will be Pittsburgh's top two wideouts in the season finale.

Fantasy Analysis:

In missing the first game of his career, Wallace may have very well played his final game as a Steeler. He is a free agent after the season, and beat writers believe he will be looking for more money than the team is willing to give him. For Week 17, Brown is a very nice play as he has scored in three straight games and has seen his yardage totals climb of late. One worry is that he will see a lot of Joe Haden, but I still think Brown is definitely worth a start in 10- and 12-team leagues. I mean, with Wallace and Heath Miller out, to whom else is Ben Roethlisberger going to throw?
