Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Kareem Copeland noted, it wasn't long ago that Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Sanders were calling themselves the "Young Money Crew." Now they're getting money from other teams. ... Wallace took a five-year, $60 million contract from the Miami Dolphins, and Sanders recently signed a one-year, $2.5 million offer sheet from the Patriots. The Steelers have until Sunday to match the offer or take a third-round draft pick from the Patriots. As outlined in
this week's Fantasy Notebook, Roethlisberger has reason to be nervous. Wallace and Sanders combined for 108 catches and 1,462 yards and nine touchdowns last season. Sanders had career highs in receptions and yards in 2012, and he just turned 26. A decision is likely coming by Sunday.
