Two of fantasy's more intriguing preseason bounce-back WR candidates — Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas — have fallen well short of that hype and arrive at flashpoints in their seasons entering Week 9.
A healthier Bryant, we assumed, would click from the outset with Dak Prescott after foot injuries essentially prevented it from happening until the second half last season. Instead, Bryant has been a touchdown-dependent low-end WR2 with a career-low 11.4 yards per reception.
Mike McCoy, we're told, would reestablish Thomas, the RAC monster, with a quick-hitting screen game to let one of the game's elite size-speed wideouts terrorize slower linebackers and smaller defensive backs in the open field.
