Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant's chances of suiting up on Sunday are "optimistic" according to NFL Network's Rand Getlin.
Dez Bryant has ‘optimistic’ outlook for Sunday, per report, return to fantasy lineups imminent
It appears that the Cowboys will get their No. 1 receiver back into action on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. We break down the fantasy implications.

Bryant practiced on Wednesday and Thursday after running and cutting at full speed in the week preceding Week 7's loss to the New York Giants. It would be Bryant's first start since fracturing his foot in Week 1 and having subsequent surgery to repair it. The Cowboys are 1-4 since Bryant's injury and would need all hands on deck to combat an elite Seattle Seahawks secondary on Sunday.
Fantasy impact: The Seahawks are allowing the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, but a player of Bryant's caliber has the talent to capitalize. Bryant had a modest 63 receiving yards against the Seahawks in 2014 with Tony Romo at the helm, but being a perpetual red-zone threat and target monster always gives Bryant a high ceiling amid any matchup.
Barring any unforeseen setbacks or circumstances, Bryant presents solid WR2 value with WR1 upside against stiff competition.
