The Dallas Cowboys are listing Dez Bryant as questionable for their Week 5 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. He failed to practice this week and is expected to be inactive for this game, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport.

Bryant suffered a knee injury during Dallas’ Week 3 win over the Chicago Bears, which led to him missing last week’s win over the San Francisco 49ers. He did not practice at all last week and also missed every session this week.

In three games this season, Bryant has 11 catches for 150 yards and one touchdown. Expect him to be held out this week, and if he plays, be used as nothing more than a decoy.

Fantasy Impact: Bryant would have been poised for a big game against the Bengals had he played. They have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Keep Bryant on your bench this week, even if he is a surprise active.
