Dez Bryant is still dealing with his shoulder injury. We break down the fantasy implications.
Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was limited in practice on Wednesday. He has been dealing with a shoulder injury since Week 1, when Tony Romo hung him out to dry against the San Francisco 49ers. Bryant has been active for all three games, totaling 20 catches, 247 yards and two touchdowns. He'll be in the lineup against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football.
He hasn't quite lived up to the high billing heading into the season, but the Cowboys are starting to move the ball as an offense. Running back DeMarco Murray leads the NFL in rushing, which hasn't really hurt Bryant's overall output.
His shoulder injury hasn't been a major problem in his career, but the 25-year-old wideout has appeared on the injury report for numerous reasons. It's just something to keep an eye on during the game.
Fantasy impact: You're starting him. The Saints have been absolutely awful on the road and this figures to be a major shootout. Bryant is a top-three fantasy play this week.
