Cowboys’ Wide Receiver Dez Bryant is one of the best – if not THE best – young players in the NFL. And according to three members of the Dynasty Team here at www.FakePigskin.com, if you play the Dynasty format of fantasy football, you want Bryant on your team more than any other player in the league.
Bryant edges out fellow wideouts Julio Jones, Demaryius Thomas and A.J. Green for the top spot in the October version of the Top 200 Dynasty players, as voted on by Jeremy Hardt (@FantasyGumshoe), Eric Harrison (@FFPrimeTime) and Andy Younce (@Aytopspin). After looking over the rankings, be sure to leave a comment or contact the guys on Twitter to share your views with them. For instance, why is Harrison so down on the NFL’s leading rusher – ranking him behind six other running backs? Why does Gumshoe appear to love Mike Evans and hate Eddie Lacy? Why does Younce appear to love Eddie Lacy and hate Mike Evans?
Since the last release of the Top 200 (August 1, 2014), there have been plenty of notable movements in the rankings.
