Fantasy Football Wide Receivers – Number 11: Dez Bryant

2015 Stats: 31 REC 401 YDS 3TDS (through 9 games)

Causing havoc for defenses, Dez Bryant is set to make a comeback from his broken right foot suffered in last year’s season opener. When healthy, Bryant can put up unbelievable numbers, as he displayed in 2014.

The question for the former Oklahoma State wideout is can he bounce back to being the best wide receiver in the league?

At least with fantasy, we can speculate on him getting touchdowns. Bryant tallied 12+ touchdowns in the last three seasons prior to the foot injury.

The reasoning for being out of the top ten is because I believe we’ve seen his ceiling. He played in the preseason opener but will not get in for the second game.

Tony Romo has also been inconsistent. Being that injury prone at the quarterback position is a tough pill to swallow when regarding who is going to be throwing to your wide receiver, and that definitely could hurt Bryant’s stock in the draft.

Next: Year three already?
