With the news that Dallas Cowboys’ star wide receiver Dez Bryant will miss this week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers with a knee injury, the Cowboys are going to need someone to make up for such a huge loss in their offense.

That player could very well be fellow wide receiver Terrance Williams. In his fourth season out of Baylor, Williams is more than capable of having a big game anytime he steps on the football field.
Fantasy Impact: Bryant was seeing the ball thrown his way about eight times a game through three weeks this season. Those extra targets will likely be divvied up between Williams, wide receiver Cole Beasley, and tight end Jason Witten.
Williams and Dallas are heading into a matchup with a 49ers defense that is giving up an average of two passing touchdowns per game this year. So, Williams will more than likely have an opportunity to catch a ball in the end zone on Sunday.
Yahoo! is projecting the young Cowboys receiver to finish with just three catches for 45 yards this week against San Francisco. But with Bryant out on Sunday, Williams may be worth taking a chance on for some fantasy owners.
