There’s been talk about Bryant’s injury potentially being more serious than previously thought. One report suggested that the Cowboys fear he could have a bulging or herniated disc. There isn’t a whole lot to go on at this point, but if Bryant plays and suffers no setbacks, then he’s probably in the clear.
If Bryant were to miss Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, he would have a bye week to rest up afterward. Still, losing Bryant against a team like the Saints would be huge, given that their games have been offensive shootouts by and large this season.
Fantasy Impact: Bryant has been one of the top fantasy receivers in the league. He’s caught 51 passes for 705 yards and eight touchdowns on the season. He’s a WR1 every single week he plays and fantasy owners should keep him in the lineup this week, unless they hear otherwise on Sunday morning.
