He didn't find the end zone for a fourth consecutive week, but Dez Bryant still did enough to warrant being one of fantasy football's best wide receivers. Bryant caught nine passes for 102 yards in Sunday's win over the New York Giants. The Cowboys stressed their desire to find ways of getting Bryant the ball after the bye week and it appears to have worked for the most part.
Dez Bryant rewards fantasy owners with 102 yards in Week 12

Bryant’s impressive output was far from perfect. He was targeted a whopping 16 times but converted just over half of those targets. He dropped several passes and lost a fumble early in the game. However, when it came time for the Cowboys to move the ball down the field and get the lead, Bryant caught nearly every ball thrown his way. What could have ended up being one of Bryant’s worst games ended up being one of his most clutch performances.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners were likely concerned at beginning of Sunday's game, but Bryant redeemed himself when all was said and done. He may have failed to find the end zone, and there was a costly fumble early in the game, but Bryant's overall output for the week is promising as owners head into their fantasy playoffs. Sunday's game marks the beginning of a great remaining schedule for Bryant. Beginning in Week 13, Bryant faces the Oakland Raiders, followed by the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers, and the Washington Redskins will struggle to contain Bryant during most owners' fantasy Super Bowl in Week 16.
