Dez Bryant Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Ravens impending free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant said he wants to play two more seasons, but he won't be doing it in Baltimore. "I realized quick Baltimore wasn't the place for me," Bryant wrote on Twitter. "No bad blood. That's their way of doing things so you gotta respect it." The 32-year-old made a return in 2020 after sitting out for two seasons, and he finished with six catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns in six games. He finished as the team's No. 4 wideout for the worst passing offense in the league and lacked explosiveness on the field. Bryant played a total of 129 snaps (21.5 per game). The three-time Pro Bowler was held without a catch in Baltimore's two playoff games and is unlikely to see much of a market in free agency. In the right situation, Bryant could have a bigger role, but it's more of a long shot in 2021.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant (thigh), defensive end Calais Campbell (calf) and cornerbacks Marcus Peters (calf) and Jimmy Smith (ribs, shoulder) were among the players that didn't practice on Wednesday. Bryant had just one catch on three targets in the blowout win over the Jaguars in Week 15, but the one grab went for an 11-yard touchdown, his first of the year. It was cool to see the 32-year-old return to the end zone after a few years away from the game, but he's not a realistic fantasy option if he plays in Week 16 against the Giants. Campbell has dealt with the same injury for several weeks now and wasn't active last Sunday. Baltimore's D would be much stronger with a healthy Campbell on the defensive line, but they're still a top-five fantasy unit against a Giants team that could be without quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) again.

The Baltimore Ravens placed quarterback Trace McSorley (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a knee sprain that he suffered late in the Monday night win over the Browns. In a corresponding move, the team activated wide receiver Dez Bryant from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. With Robert Griffin III (hamstring) also on IR, the Ravens will elevate Tyler Huntley from the practice squad to serve as Lamar Jackson's backup moving forward. Bryant has missed the team's last two games after testing positive for COVID-19. The 32-year-old veteran has played in just three games this year with Baltimore and has four catches for 28 yards. He'll continue to provide depth behind Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and Willie Snead IV and can continue to be left to the waiver wire in the vast majority of leagues.

The Baltimore Ravens officially placed wide receiver Dez Bryant on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Bryant was warming up to play against his former team, the Cowboys, on Tuesday night when he was told just before kickoff that he had tested positive for the virus. The veteran receiver claimed he had tested negative for COVID-19 twice, but he's officially on the list now and will be out for at least the team's Week 14 game against the Browns on Monday night. Bryant will quarantine for 10 days. The 32-year-old could be available to return in Week 15 against the Jaguars. Bryant has played in just three games this season and has only four catches for 28 yards. He could continue to be active as long as Willie Snead also remains on the COVID-19 list, but Bryant isn't a realistic option in redraft leagues and can be left on the waiver wire in the majority of formats.

The Baltimore Ravens have yet to put wide receiver Dez Bryant on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after he was sent home right before kickoff on Tuesday night against the Cowboys when it was announced that he tested positive for coronavirus. Bryant announced on his Twitter account that he has since tested negative for COVID-19 twice. It looks like Bryant had a false-positive test on Tuesday, which unfortunately kept Bryant from playing against his old team in prime time. The 32-year-old resurfaced with Baltimore this year after last playing in 2017, but he's played in just three games and has four catches for 28 yards. Bryant has spent most of his time on the team's practice squad and said he was quitting after not playing in Week 13. Even if the 32-year-old remains with the organization, it's unlikely that he'll have a big impact on the field the rest of the way.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant announced on his Twitter page on Tuesday that he was pulled from the field before the Week 13 game against the Cowboys after the team learned that he had tested positive for COVID-19. Bryant also posted that he's "going to go ahead and call it a quit for the rest of the season. I can't deal with this." The good news for the Ravens is that no high-risk close contacts were identified. The 32-year-old veteran obviously wasn't active against his old team, and he might be done for the rest of the year. Bryant resurfacing in the NFL for the first time since 2017 has been a cool story this year, but he's had just four catches on seven targets for 28 yards in three games played and has spent most of his time on Baltimore's practice squad. Rookies James Proche II and Devin Duvernay will get more chances behind Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin on Tuesday.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant tweeted that he has signed to the team's 53-man active roster. Bryant reverted back to the team's practice squad after the Week 11 overtime loss to the Titans, but he's back on the roster again for the Week 12 contest against the undefeated Steelers that has been moved to Tuesday night. The veteran pass-catcher caught four of five targets for 28 yards in the loss to the Titans last week. Bryant has been active for two games in 2020, but last Sunday was the first time that he actually saw passes come his way. It's great to see the former Cowboy back on Baltimore's active roster, but he can be ignored in the majority of fantasy leagues this week, especially with quarterback Robert Griffin III taking over under center for Lamar Jackson, who tested positive for COVID-19.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant was moved back to the practice squad following the team's Week 11 win over Tennessee. While Bryant saw a drastic upswing in usage versus the Titans, even securing four receptions for 28 yards, he cannot be viewed as a fantasy asset in any sized season-long format due to his fluctuations between the active roster and practice squad. The Ravens can recall the former All-Pro to the 53-man roster once more before needing to sign him full-time. While he may not be available for Thursday's meeting against Pittsburgh, the fervor to utilize him against his former squad, Dallas, would be strong during Week 13. Check back for any updates as it pertains to Bryant's status within the Baltimore offensive gameplan.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant has been added to the team's active roster for Sunday's game versus Tennessee, the second time that he has been brought up from the practice squad. Despite his career accolades, Bryant is a non-entity in fantasy during Week 11, having seen just two snaps and zero targets in the one previous game that he appeared in during 2020. Ravens receivers have been notoriously finicky when it comes to fantasy production this year due to the stagnation of the team's passing game, with Bryant's addition further muddling the target share. Unless he reels off a performance emblematic of his past form, Bryant can remain firmly on the waiver wire in all season-long formats.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant remains on the team's practice squad, but even if he's activated for Sunday's game against the Patriots, he should remain on the fantasy sidelines. Some were tempted by Bryant's name recognition to play him in Week 9, but Bryant played just two snaps in that game. He's clearly not ready to be a weapon for quarterback Lamar Jackson. Don't put him in your fantasy lineup, though managers in 14-team leagues can be forgiven for rostering him still.
