Oof. Dez Bryant is hurt, and it might not be a situation that's easy to solve. He could be out for nearly 12 weeks, and the team just doesn't have anybody to replace him truly (what team would?).

Given that, the Cowboys might have to get creative and get Lance Dunbar into the mix more and more.

Dunbar saw eight targets in Week 1, tied for third at the position with three other players. Last year, on just 18 catches, Dunbar finished 17th at the position in Reception NEP. After Week 1, he's currently ranked eight in the metric among running backs.

Last year, Bryant saw a 28.0% market share of targets on the team (137 targets overall). Philadelphia was a top-five run defense last year, per our metrics. Pounding the ball up the middle might not be the best way to go about the run game, and that should make Dunbar a sneaky running back play in Week 2.
