Official Dez Bryant (2 Viewers)

I wouldn't start him until we see how much action he gets first week back. If Romo were playing it would be different.

Can't believe I'm starting Ginn over Dez. I just don't trust Dez this week against Sherman and probably not playing all the snaps. I'm in wait and see mode.

 
Don't think I can bring myself to start him of C. West or Moncrief. Especially if he's on a pitch count - I hate those two words.

 
This is (hopefully) the last week before I start rolling out the PPR destroyer trio of Brown/Dez/Cobb. Just gotta see the new reveal on the last two and I can't bring myself to start either of them over guys like Eifert and Diggs who have been killing it lately. Just a horrible matchup for Dez's first week back but hopefully he comes out of the game without any setbacks and ready to roll full speed come next week.

 
Rotoworld:

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports "all signs continue to point" to Dez Bryant (questionable, foot) playing Sunday.

Cowboys VP Stephen Jones also said he expects Bryant to play. Bryant is going to return Sunday, but could play limited snaps.

I think the pitch count is probably and excuse/reason to pull him if the game gets out of hand. I'm sure they wouldn't want to risk re-injuring him at that point.

This pitch count talk (and being covered by Sherman) has me a little spooked.
Does Sherman travel now? Pretty easy to avoid him when he stays on the left side.
ESPN Seahawks reporter Sheil Kapadia reports Richard Sherman is expected to shadow Dez Bryant (foot, questionable).

Bryant is fully expected to play despite the questionable tag, but his return to action could be muted by Sherman, who completely shut down Torrey Smith with shadow coverage last week. Bryant is a much tougher cover than Smith, but coming off a long-term foot injury, Bryant may not have his normal explosion. Bryant is just a WR2 in the tough matchup. Oct 31 - 9:22 AM

 
As much as I want to start him, I'm sitting him for Kendall Wright this week.

If Sherman wasn't shadowing him I would've considered it, but that's a tough way to come back. I'm also up big in my league (Brady/Gronk) and just need sure points to win. I feel like Dez is definitely boom/bust this week, but Sherman limits the "boom" side some. He's not going to have 10 receptions from Cassell vs Sherman. He might pull in a TD. Two would be an amazing performance (both for Dez and more so for Cassell)

 
With Romo, I wouldn't be worried about any of the other qualifiers. With Cassell, different story. I will likely give him a seat for someone like Stevie Johnson today.

 
Also benching for Stevie Johnson. Snap count, Cassel, and Sherman is enough to make me leave him on the bench. If one of those three weren't the case it's be a harder decision.

 
It's a no brainer for me to bench ANY player who misses an extended amount of time with any leg or foot injury.

Deciding between Dez and Cooks. Will likely waste plenty of mental energy going back and forth over the next 30 minutes.

 
Haven't been able to watch much yet. Decoy?
Hard to tell but I don't ththink so. It's simply that Cassell looks really bad.
Cassell=bad and obviously Jerry Jones completely forgot about all that talk he made about how they were going to line Dez up all over the field and move him. It's been "line up outside every play.
I've seen Dez in the slot on several plays. That's said I have no idea what Jones meant by lining him up "all over the field."
