Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant practiced on Wednesday with his broken left index finger taped. Bryant suffered the injury during the team's Week 14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals but has still managed to score touchdowns in six straight games for Dallas.

Bryant had four catches for 59 yards and a touchdown last weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cowboys face the New Orleans Saints in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact: Bryant had said that the finger felt fine and there’s no reason to think he won’t be ready to play in Week 16. Bryant has been a fantasy star the last six weeks and has another good matchup on Sunday against New Orleans.
Bryant should be considered a No. 1 fantasy wide receiver for Week 16 and has a good chance to extend his touchdown streak.
