Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant says he will "no doubt" be ready to play in the season-opener against the New York Giants. Bryant did some light running but didn't practice Tuesday, a day after undergoing an MRI because of tendinitis in his right knee. Bryant is not going to play Saturday against the St. Louis Rams, and will also likely sit out the team's final preseason game.

Analysis: This is good to hear for the Cowboys, but it's not a surprise considering the initial reaction from Bryant and the team. He is a low No. 1/high No. 2 fantasy receiver and could get a few more targets early in the season if Miles Austin or Jason Witten aren't 100 percent. He will be an important part of the passing game for the Cowboys and is probably their best red zone target at receiver.
