Dez Bryant now ruled OUT for Week 7

Oct 24, 2015

It's officially official: Dez Bryant is out for the Dallas Cowboys' matchup with the New York Giants.

The receiver was downgraded from doubtful to out on Saturday.

Bryant didn't travel with the Cowboys on Friday. He was listed as doubtful on the injury report with the minutest of minute chances that he might join the team Saturday. That did not happen.

Fantasy Impact:

The Cowboys had hoped to get the Pro Bowl receiver back after their bye, but Bryant will miss his fifth straight game after suffering a broken foot that required surgery in Week 1. Matt Cassel will be throwing to Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley and Jason Witten, among others, Sunday afternoon. Bryant will now focus his attention on coming back Week 8.

“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

Related Players: Eric Saubert

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.
