Fantasy Impact: Dallas hopes the injury is not too serious as Bryant has been on fire during the preseason so far. In the Cowboys’ two games this summer, he has four catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns.
Coming off a 2015 season where injuries only allowed him to play in nine games, Bryant is looking to regain the form he had in 2014 when he caught 16 touchdowns.
Fantasy owners do not seem to be worried about his injuries from last season as his 2016 ADP is still in the first round for 12-team standard leagues. Dallas is hoping that the addition of running back Ezekiel Elliot will take some of the defensive pressure off Bryant this year, allowing him to break free and make more trips to the end zone.
