Dez Bryant injury update: Expect big things from Cowboys WR with Ezekiel Elliott out
The Cowboys need all hands on deck with Ezekiel Elliott sitting out.

The Dallas Cowboys are listing Dez Bryant as questionable to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.
Bryant is battling knee and ankle injuries that kept him out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday. However, the star receiver returned on Friday and looked like he was fine, according to Dallas Morning News reporter Brandon George.
The last thing Dallas can afford is another offensive star to be out. Ezekiel Elliott will begin serving his six-game suspension this week, which should lead to a more pass-happy attack against the Falcons on Sunday.
Elliott simply demands the ball to be in his hands throughout a game, so without him, that’s going to mean more touches for Bryant and other Cowboys skill players.
Fantasy Advice: If Bryant is active, he will face a Falcons defense ranked 16th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers over the last five weeks. In other words, they’ve been pretty average against the pass, which means a star like Bryant should do well versus them. Start him on Sunday.
