No matter the freezing weather, Dez Bryant will wear short sleeves in Green Bay and look to burn the Packers' secondary. (Stadium Forecast)
Fantasy Impact:
Bryant had a poor performance in the Wild Card Game against the Lions, but that should not get in the way of the fact that he was a top-three WR this season. He was the NFL leader in receiving touchdowns with 16 and had 10 touchdowns and 98 receiving yards per game in the previous seven weeks. Most importantly for fantasy owners, Bryant has made the most of the opportunities when the ball has been thrown in his direction, catching 77.3% of his passes targeted at him over the past eight weeks. There will be plenty of opportunities for passes targeted at Bryant on Sunday, as the Packers rank 23rd against WR this season. Bryant should either be the number one or number two option at WR for the Divisional Round and should near 100 yards receiving against a weak Packers secondary.
