Dez Bryant Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Bryant reportedly had an inconclusive test result from his most recent round of COVID-19 testing, and following a rapid test performed during pregame warmups, he's officially been ruled out of Tuesday's Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a confirmed positive test. This news came well after the Ravens' inactive list was released for tonight's contest, so Bryant is a late scratch from the active roster, which will allow Devin Duvernay and Myles Boykin to step into undisputed top-three wide receiver roles this evening. Duvernay was already set to be a popular option on Tuesday's single-game slates and now becomes an even stronger play in Bryant's absence, but Boykin will be an interesting pivot in tournament formats given the additional opportunities that should be available in the passing game with Bryant, Willie Snead, and Mark Andrews all sidelined for COVID-19 related reasons.

Dez Bryant has been elevated to the active roster for Sunday, one week after being kept inactive on the practice squad. In his debut two weeks ago, Bryant played just two snaps, so expectations should be kept low. It is likely best to assume Bryant won't actively be involved in the offense until we see him get any type of significant run.

Dez Bryant not elevated from practice squad, will not be active Sunday.

As expected, Mark Ingram is inactive Sunday, setting up J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to handle the RB work. Dobbins was the more effective of the two backs last week, but the workload is still expected to be shared. Dez Bryant and Devin Duvernay are both active, and the WR situation in Baltimore will be tough to predict this week. Bryant is obviously a big name, but it is unlikely the Ravens work him too hard in his first game since 2017.

Dez Bryant has been elevated from the practice squad, meaning he is likely to make his Ravens debut Sunday. This would be Bryant's first game since 2017, and the hype around his return could outpace his production. His exact role remains to be seen, and the Ravens' offense can make it difficult for a WR to consistently produce.

It appears the Dez Bryant in New Orleans era may have ended as quickly as it began, as the Saints fear Bryant tore his Achilles' tendon during Friday's practice. This would obviously sideline Bryant for the remainder of the season, and be a difficult mountain for the aging receiver to climb as he pursues suiting up again in the NFL.
