Dez Bryant practices Thursday, keeping fantasy value high

Bryant has been hampered by a foot injury this week, but has been back in Cowboys practice. We break down the fantasy implications.

US PRESSWIRE

Dez Bryant participated in Dallas Cowboys practice Thursday, good news for those worried about his sprained left foot. The wide receiver was also a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Bryant caught four passes on eight targets for 22 yards Sunday against the New York Giants. He suffered his injury during the game.

Fantasy impact: Bryant had the fantasy world abuzz after a monster preseason, so a mere 22 yards in a game in which his team scored 36 points had to be a downer. There was some concern early in the week that Bryant might be out or limited Sunday, when Dallas travels to face the Kansas City Chiefs, but as of now it looks likely that he'll be out there.

Even with this news, owners of Dallas' other primary pass-catchers, Miles Austin and Jason Witten, should feel good about their players' odds, as it seems unlikely the Cowboys will want to work Bryant to death as he comes off injury. Bryant shouldn't be downgraded much, but Witten and Austin should both rise for Week 2.
