Dez Bryant doesn’t practice Wednesday, fantasy status bears monitoring
The Cowboys rested their star wide receiver on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Bryant landed awkwardly after leaping over opponents to snag a touchdown pass from Matt Cassel during a play which looked more like a highlight from a game of "500" than football. It wasn't an injury that forced him to exit the game, indicating his absence from practice is a maintenance day than anything else.
Fantasy impact: Though it's too early to paint a picture of doom and gloom regarding Bryant's availability for Sunday, his absence warrants his status to be monitored throughout the week. Bryant has two more practices to participate in before any doubt arises about whether he will suit up on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Against one of the league's most exploitable secondaries, Bryant is a no-brainer WR1 that would be in the top three if it wasn't for such poor quarterback play. Tony Romo is eligible to return in Week 11, and if he does, Bryant's fantasy value will skyrocket.
