DAL WR Dez Bryant knows playbook better

Aug 01, 2011

Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was admittedly shaky last year.

Never mind the great catches, touchdowns and numbers he put up.

He didn't have a good grasp of the Cowboys offense and he lacked confidence.

If knowledge is power, look for Bryant have an even bigger season in 2011.

Nobody has looked better through the first week of Cowboys camp and he attributes that to a better understand of the playbook and being more comfortable in his second year.

"I feel better than last year," Bryant said. "I'm so excited. I can't wait to get on the field. I'm more confident. I know the play book better. I was shy last year. Now its none of that. I feel good."

Fantasy Impact:

Bryant has potential to explode this season as QB Tony Romo is expected to be back to form. Bryant is rated as our 15th best WR and has an ADP of the fifth round, which is still behind teammate Miles Austin (11th, 3rd round ADP). Bryant will be drafted as a WR2, but certainly has a chance to give your team a second WR1 after the season gets underway.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
