Fantasy Impact:
Bryant is an elite WR but his performance in the Wild Card round was not befitting of a top WR. Although he had a 43 yard reception, his other two receptions only went for five yards in total. Bryant's performance against the Lions may have been poor but, if past performances are indicative, Bryant should see a bump in his numbers against Green Bay today. The Packers rank 23rd against fantasy WR and Bryant has averaged 10 catches and 119.5 yards and a touchdown per game in the two games against the Packers. In fact, last year against the Packers, he had 11 catches for 153 and a touchdown; Bryant should be seen as a premier option this week again.
