1 Dez targets
As usual, the target watch for Dez Bryant is a matter of interest. After an embarrassingly low two targets at New Orleans, he had 16 in the next game at New York and nine on Thanksgiving against Oakland. But Monday against the Chicago Bears, the number plunged back to four. Sounds like it’s time for another high-target game.
