Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is finally returning to the field after nursing an ankle injury he suffered in Week 1 of the regular season. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Bryant will be on a snap count as he acclimates himself to the speed of the game after a six-week absence. The Cowboys will need some production from Bryant. They'll be facing a tough Seattle Seahawks defense with quarterback Matt Cassel filling in for an injured Tony Romo (broken collarbone).
Dez Bryant injury update: Cowboys WR is active for fantasy owners Week 8
Dez Bryant is back. We take a look at the fantasy implications.


Fantasy impact: Bryant owners should be thrilled about his return. However, he’s a risky option for his first week back. Bryant will be testing out his recovered ankle on a snap count, and his quarterback will be Matt Cassel. Bryant and Cassel have not developed much chemistry outside of Thursday’s practice. Bryant is more of a wait-and-see prospect for his first week back. However, desperate fantasy owners can plug him in as a high risk/reward WR2 if needed.
