Yeah not happy the Giants lost last night. I may end up benching Dez for Robby Anderson.

@PFF: Save for his 2015 campaign in which he was injured - @dallascowboys WR Dez Bryant has been about as reliable as it gets for QBs to throw to. https://twitter.com/PFF/status/864227897678192645/photo/1

Anyone selling in Dynasty? He'll be 30 this year. Might be one of the last years to cash in. Seemed like last year he wasn't a volume target guy. They ran the ball a lot with a rookie QB. Dez was banged up but still only 3 games with Double digit targets and 2 with 7+ catches. In PPR or any league has anyone sold or bought him recently?

If you can get the right price, always sell. I would imagine his value has been sinking, but if someone really believes in Dak and wants to win now, you might get an offer.

I have tried selling in the one league in which I own him, and his trade value is nowhere close to his dynasty ranking, at least in that league.

You're right. I saw 29 on the dynasty page and a November bday. He'll be 29 in November.
I thought i had had a deal lined up to get Michael Thomas. Turns out he balked last minute. Everyone here was on the MT side. I thought I had a similar deal to get Hopkins and many were on the Dez side. Am I missing something. Hopkins and MT are a lot closer in age than Dez. Brees is older as well.
Where do we have MT, Dez, Hopkins, Watkins in dyno?

I am a little more down on the upside of Thomas compared to others here, but even I think that is a huge win for you.
Is it just me or does Dez seem to be flying under the radar this year? (Hell, even this thread hasn't been updated in two months.) Obviously, the injuries over the past two years have spooked people, but there's no sign whatsoever that he's suffered any dropoff when healthy. The second half of last year, he put up 50/896/8, very much in line with the numbers he put up in 2012-14. I see no reason that he can't get back to that level and put up numbers in line with the first-round studs.

He's my 2 behind Brown. Went as like WR10 in my recent local. Maybe thats about right based on recent injury but i'm hoping he bounces back nicely.

I too didn't want to start him, but I didn't have a real choice.

Think Dez is an Elite talent.. Media has him at least 3rd in pecking order. I'm not sure I agree, starting a guy like Parker, ahead of him is the right choice. Yes, it was good coverage, w/ bad breaks. Dez can turn it on, and keep going. Id almost Bank on it.. Big honor too wear (88), and the Man earns it too. Wait see, if he has too begin crying for opportunity. Baller Alert!
Its your Team, and boy can I be Wrong. Id just like too see Parker perform a few games, before Dez rides pine, for most anyone. Dude's (head) probably barely in game, knowing how much they need Zeke, too really be something.. But, its Feed the Beast, for reason too..

I hope you're drunk so that you have an excuse for your abuse of the language. That's awful.
He posted something just as incoherent in the Jordan Howard thread too. I can't tell if he's drunk, unintelligent, or trying to be cute. I'm hoping it's just drunk.

All of the above. I think he's Mavis' alter ego. Like a Jekyll/Hyde thing. Except in this case both are insufferable.

It is hard to argue with their success given how efficient their offense is, but it seems like they don't do enough to get Bryant the ball in spots where he can catch and run with it. Last night it seemed like most of his targets were "let's heave him to him down field on a fly pattern and hope he can outjump or outmuscle the physical corner to get the ball."

I think what makes me the most frustrated about Des Bryant's use is it is downright CRIMINAL that I used to sit here on Sundays and watch Scott Linnehan scheme a million ways to throw the ball to Megatron seemingly every freaking play and these days you can't buy a situation where DeZ runs a short crossing route and gets featured. To me it defies logic. With DeZ, Williams, Beasley, and Butler, you have a perfect combo of WRs that could force defenses to make their first step laterally on every freaking play, running them sideways all the time and those WRs can ALL beat that. And the alleys that would open up for Zeke would be huge.
But instead it is as if they want to prove a point each week (which they can, and they are good at it), but the thing I remember the most about the 90's Cowboys was every week it was "pick your poison". That team really knew how embarrass you by letting you decide which way you wanted to die. This Cowboys team could do the same if their defense could be better. But instead they seem predictable and take the ball out of the hands of their talent. Zeke is great but you can't run this offense through him long-term without paying in late season injuries. If you are the Bills and you don't have better options, then you do it. But this team should be killing you 4 different ways week to week,

He's like going on a date with someone everybody tells you is a "sure thing" and then she ends up being a dead fish in bed. Next year I'm going to let him be someone else's problem

I hated the dead fish...
i had no choice... it was Dez, Hopkins, Robinson, DThomas... last year Thomas was my dead fish. Considered Hopkins... kind if regret that

He's the worst. Drops passes that are admittedly kind of tough catches but he should be ####### making them, why else would you draft him where you do. Also has his fair of offensive pass interference. Hate him.
The first three weeks of the season are probably his toughest, in terms of facing talented shadow corners like Jenkins/Talib/Peterson. And he hasn't been terrible! If he can put up WR2 numbers in those weeks, he should be fine as the schedule gets a little easier. Even match-ups like Washington/Seattle don't scare me as much because Norman/Sherman aren't true shadow guys.
The fact that he's getting so many targets is encouraging.

Maybe I'm a rose-colored Dez homer, but for me his only legit flaw as a fantasy football WR is durability. Dude is a real-life and fantasy WR1 on a PPG basis, when he's not majorly hurt. Even as recently as the 2nd half of last season that has been true.
Let's not let two weeks against top-ten D (NYG) and then arguably the #1 NFL D (DEN) cloud our perception too much. Take a look at the WR1 list for 2017 and you'll see only two preseason top-12 WRs. And Dez is only 5 points from the #12 position. Two weeks is nothing.
