Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo insists he's not worried about Dez Bryant and his inconsistent start to the season. Romo says (via The Star-Telegram) that Bryant will be fine and that he just needs to keep working hard in practice and improving as a wide receiver. Bryant pulled in three catches for 17 yards in last weekend's loss to Seattle after gaining 85 yards in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Dallas plays the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Bryant has been inconsistent and that has driven fantasy owners crazy. This week against the Buccaneers could be a big one for Bryant and Miles Austin, as Tampa Bay allowed more than 500 yards passing last week. Bryant is a No. 2 fantasy receiver in most formats this week.
