Fantasy Impact:
Dez Bryant is still a top-10 wide receiver in football and games like yesterday and outstanding catches like the one he made in overtime show why. Bryant had 9 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown yesterday as he extended a streak of touchdown catches in the second half to four games. Bryant has developed his game greatly during the young season, working on his route running and generally being a better teammate by helping in the running game, but he is still a big play option and is on pace to maintain quality offensive production. Even with DeMarco Murray on a historical yardage pace on the ground, Bryant is still projected to have 100 catches for over 1,000 yards and double digit touchdowns. He may not be making as many explosive plays, his yards per catch is down from 14 to 11.8 this season, but he has 6.4 receptions per game, up from 5 per game for his career average. Fantasy owners should not worry about Bryant's production in the face of Murray's record pace; he will still be a top WR option.
