The fantasy effects of Dez Bryant's holdout
by Nate Hamilton | Fri, Jun 19th 3:20pm EDT
The longer the Cowboys and their number one receiver go without an extension the more it could negatively effect the fantasy value of both Dez Bryant and Tony Romo.
Fantasy Impact:
Time without Bryant can only lead to Romo gaining chemistry with his other receivers. When it comes time to make a quick in-game decision, Romo may opt away from number 88 and throw elsewhere because he may feel more comfortable with a receiver he has come across that very scenario in practice. I understand Dez Bryant may not need to practice to improve his game, but he does need to practice to get on the same page with his QB. Bryant off the field only increases the workload for guys like Cole Beasley and Terrance Williams who are very capable of producing valuable fantasy numbers. This is something to keep in mind for those who already have Dez or are faced with potentially drafting him this season. Bryant and the Cowboys have until July 15th to agree to a new contract or the franchise tag is locked in and negotiations are held off until the end of the season.
