Dez Update: 'real shot' to play Week 7

Oct 05, 2015

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones appeared on the G Bag Nation on 103.5 KRLD The Fan on Monday.

He said Dez Bryant was examined late last week.

"There's been no setbacks," Jones said. Says there's a "real shot" he could play after Week 6 bye against the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact:

That continues to be the news out of Dallas in terms of Bryant's status. We reported a story last week saying the team thought he could return during the Week 6 bye and play by Week 7. It's still hard to trust what a player or team says about injuries, and as owners know, reports said Bryant would miss anywhere from four weeks to the rest of the season. If you believe what the Cowboys are saying, it continues to look good for a Bryant return sooner than later.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
