SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #18   
Overall: #59


Bryant had his rookie season cut short because of a broken leg, but played pretty well before his season ended after 12 games. He had 45 receptions for 561 yards and six touchdowns. Bryant had a 100-yard game and eight games with three or more receptions. He was becoming a top target in the Cowboys' passing game before the injury. Bryant should continue to start for the Cowboys and could even challenge Miles Austin for the No. 1 spot at receiver. But Bryant will have to stay out of trouble. He has some off the field concerns and character issues. Bryant is being sued and was issued a criminal trespass warning at a mall this offseason. The talent is there, though, for big things. Bryant has top speed and a knack for making big plays. He also has great hands, giving him the ability to make some spectacular catches. He has natural ability for the position. His route running still needs some work but Bryant is making strides.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Consider Bryant a young Terrell Owens. He has the talent to be an elite fantasy receiver but you just never know when he'll implode. But if Bryant puts it together this season and blocks all the other stuff out. He can get 1,200 yards and double-digit touchdowns. It is probably a good idea to take him as an elite No. 2 fantasy receiver rather than a No. 1.
Former Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin said he believes WR Dez Bryant can be the best wide receiver in the NFL if works on improving his conditioning and receiving skills. 'I thought Dez made great strides this year on the football field,' said Irvin. 'He has a lot of room to continue to grow, but he made great strides. When Dez really locks it all in, understands it, Dez will be the best receiver in the NFL.'

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant, who finished with 63 receptions for 928 yards and nine touchdowns, said he had a solid second pro season; however, Bryant felt he could have been better. 'I feel like I did OK,' Bryant said. 'I feel like it could have been 10 times better, but as a team, we played well. In a couple of our games earlier in the season we fell short in games we should have won. If we won those games we would have never got to this point, but you know, things happen.'

Fantasy Impact: Bryant has been more up and down than you would like but his overall production hasn't been too bad.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant did not have a reception until the fourth quarter of the Week 14 game against the New York Giants, and he finished with just one grab. However, that catch was good for a 50-yard touchdown. Bryant has scored four times in the past five games, and eight times overall through 13 games.
Fantasy Impact: Bryant has been a solid No. 2 for fantasy teams much of the season. He isn't having quite the breakout season as predicted but still playing pretty well.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant had eight receptions for a team-high 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. Bryant has visited the end zone in three of his past four games.
Fantasy Impact: Bryant still doesn't have a 100-yard game this season, which is a disappointment, but his overall numbers haven't been too bad. He still doesn't isn't having the breakout season as expected.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant could receive less playing time upon the return of WR Miles Austin (hamstring). The unexpected emergence of WR Laurent Robinson since Austin's injury may make it hard for Robinson to be removed from the starting lineup.
Fantasy Impact: We don't see Bryant losing his spot in the starting lineup but Robinson could get his chances throughout the game off the bench.
