Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant isn't getting all of the blame for his three-catch 17-yard performance in Week 2. Coach Jason Garrett said (via The Star Telegram) that Bryant was open a couple of times and didn't get the ball. He also said Bryant didn't make some plays when he had a chance, and needs to learn how to play through "tough parts of a ball game." Garrett said that the Cowboys will try and get Bryant more involved in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: Bryant hasn't had a big game for the Cowboys or fantasy owners in a while. He has seven catches for 102 yards through two games and has yet to score a touchdown. He could be better this weekend against a Tampa Bay defense that allowed more than 500 yards passing in Week 2 to Eli Manning.
