Cowboys' Dez Bryant (knee) still 50/50 to play in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant (knee) will play this week if he "feels good" on Friday, according to NFL Network's Jane Slater.

What It Means:

He returned to practice Wednesday after missing the previous two weeks with a bruised knee. Bryant said he's okay waiting another week if he isn't 100 percent by Friday. That would push his return back to Week 8 following the Cowboys' bye in Week 7. However, Bryant said he was able to run his favorite routes on Wednesday and felt good doing it. He'll be back this week barring a setback.

The Cowboys rank second in schedule-adjusted Passing Net Expected Points per play, despite Bryant missing the past two weeks. If he plays, Bryant is a low-end top-50 fantasy receiver by our projections, with a line of 40 receiving yards and 0.29 touchdowns on three catches.
