Dez Bryant

Week 16 vs Detroit
Dez Bryant had double-digit targets for the first time since Week 8. Obviously, Bryant is Dak Prescott's go-to-guy in the passing game, but sometimes the rookie spreads the ball around and that has limited Bryant's production. He did have eight receptions, a season-high, for 82 yards last week.

The Lions are up next and are seventh in aFPA to wide receivers. Despite the tough matchup, Bryant still plays as a WR1. Start him in all leagues and formats.

Week 14 at New York Giants
Dez Bryant was back in the end zone last week and now has six touchdowns in the last seven games he has played. He also ended up with 84 receiving yards against a very good Minnesota defense. Bryant is healthy and is making an impact as the Cowboys big-play weapon.

Against New York in Week 1, Bryant had only one reception for eight yards, but take that with a grain of salt as it was rookie QB Dak Presott's first game. Their relationship has grown over the season. Giants are ranked fairly high (9th) in aFPA to wide receivers, but that should have limited effect. Start Bryant as a solid WR1 for Week 14.

Week 12 vs Washington
The Dez Bryant-Dak Prescott connection seems to be working as the two have connected for four touchdowns in the last four games. Bryant's targets remain high and his yardage totals also have been fairly good. Bryant had a great game back in Week 2 against Washington catching seven passes for 102 yards.

The Redskins pass defense has been solid ranking 4th in aFPA to wide receivers. But with the way Prescott has been playing, Bryant should continue to put up very good numbers. Start Bryant as a solid WR1 for Week 12.
