Dez Bryant-WR-Dallas Cowboys

Bryant owners were afraid this would happen when Romo went down, and their nightmares became all-too-real in week 1.

Bryant was targeted five times in the Cowboys Week 1 loss to the Giants, but he only managed one catch for eight yards.  He nearly had a touchdown, but the ball came loose as he fell to the ground. Bryant didn’t seem to gel well with Dak Prescott and was surprisingly silent on a day when Prescott threw 45 passes.

Bryant owners have cause for concern going forward, and next week they’ll have to go up against Josh Norman and Washington.  While I doubt Bryant is a regular on our fantasy football busts list this season, he could have a very rough start to the season and isn’t must more than a WR2 at this point.
