The Cowboys’ offense will get a boost Sunday when Ezekiel Elliott returns to the lineup. Perhaps the most to benefit will be Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant. Bryant was pretty quiet in the Cowboys’ Week 15 win over the Oakland Raiders. He caught two passes on four targets for 59 yards in the contest. Bryant has not been a big deep threat this season, but he did manage to score in the two previous games prior to Sunday.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 16: What to do with Dez Bryant
Bryant looks to rebound against a soft Seahawks secondary Sunday. We look at the fantasy impact.

Bryant will face a soft Seattle Seahawks defense that will be focused on stopping the run in Week 16. The Seahawks have given up the seventh-most receiving yards to wideouts this season. They are decimated with injuries throughout the unit.
Fantasy impact: Bryant had another week with few targets, few catches, and blase yardage. The Cowboys were very one dimensional without Elliott in the lineup. Now that he is back, Bryant has a chance to be more effective. The Seahawks were just killed by the run, so most of their defensive efforts will be concentrated there. Bryant should have a good day against Seattle’s secondary. It may not be a huge game, but he should be able to find the end zone this week.
