Dez Bryant found the end zone for the third week in a row, catching eight passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns on Thanksgiving against the Redskins. He finished third on the team with 11 targets, but overshadowed all receivers with his final numbers.

Miles Austin was ruled out for the rest of the game at halftime, which also helped boost Bryant’s stats as the Cowboys were in constant comeback mode.
Fantasy Impact: Dallas couldn’t stop RG3, and Tony Romo was busy throwing a few picks to make matters worse. The Cowboys yet again found themselves throwing all day trying to catch up, so Bryant benefited, again.
If Austin is forced to miss any time, Bryant’s torrid pace will only continue. Either way, he looks locked in as a solid WR1 at this point.
