Dez Bryant Fantasy

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.
