2012 Outlook: Gamble (high risk)

Last updated on Aug-02-2012 by Ben Standig

The two sides of the enigmatic playmaker: Bryant topped 900 yards and hauled in nine touchdown passes with five clutch fantasy scores coming in a six-game stretch during the second half of the season. The 6-foot-2 target with blazing speed also failed to top 90 receiving once all season. Entering year three, Bryant's potential remains immense, but the inconsistencies are worth noting. The fear of more off-the-field issues also must be factored into drafting equation. Since the WR position is so deep, there should be safer and yet equally potent options available for those owners not willing to risk the drama.

2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	3.08	FFToday.com - With a QB-RB pairing through the first two rounds, and this being a PPR scoring league, now I'm getting a little nervous waiting at WR. I log off with pre-draft picks of Brandon Marshall, Hakeem Nicks and Dez Bryant, in that order. News breaks about Dez's domestic issues with his Mom involving the police, Marshall and Nicks get snatched up, and here I am left with Bryant. His value is down now and he should be had a little later in drafts, but really, I'm not sure the hit should be that significant. This guy continues to be drafted higher than his production through two seasons because of one reason - potential. He's still got that potential. He's inherently risky, and we know this, but one of these seasons he may just pay off huge for the risk takers. A suspension is possible, but given his mother's own apparent troubles, I wouldn't expect one long enough to be the deciding factor whether this pick was a mistake or not. He'll still play plenty of football. It is what he does in those games that will either wow us or underwhelm us once again.
