Dez Bryant is one of the players that can inject a game with the large doses of excitement that fans and bettors look forward to in primetime NFL games. He’s on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook for 87.5 receiving yards.
Bryant had a big game in the first contest against the Giants, catching nine passes for 151 yards. That performance and his six-reception, 158-yard outbreak against the Jaguars in London has us leaning to the OVER.
We don’t like the fact that those two big games were sandwiched around 30- and 15-yard clunkers, but we do like that Bryant has been targeted at least 10 times in four out of his last six games.
If Bryant receives the targets, which he should considering the Cowboys’ lack of dynamic receiving weapons, a big game should be in store for No. 88.
Sporting News’ Fantasy Source staff has Dez Bryant ranked as its top wide receiver this week, instilling more confidence that Dallas’ No. 1 target will have a big game.
