In a downright shot to the heart for his owners, Bryant went down in Week 1 with a broken bone in his foot that will likely cost him most of the season.
Despite that injury, and despite the fact that we won’t see Bryant until around Thanksgiving, the star Dallas WR is actually a solid option to buy. Yes, an investment in the injured WR won’t start to pay off for a couple of months, but Bryant is set to return right when things matter most—during the fantasy playoffs.
Owners who drafted Bryant likely spent a top round pick on him, which doesn’t bode well for their depth at the WR position. If you happen to have that depth and could endure Bryant sitting on the bench for the next eight weeks, the top-5 WR would be a nice player to have come playoff time.
