Pros: Bryant has the size, speed and hands to be a star in the NFL. He enters a positive situation with the Cowboys' high-flying passing game, and has the luxury of catching passes from quarterback Tony Romo. His primary competition for an increased role is Roy Williams.

Cons: The rook suffered a sprained ankle and may be slow to start the year. Bryant missed all but three games last year at Oklahoma State following a suspension, which prompts questions about his decision-making ability. He hasn't been in a game situation for almost a full year.

Fantasy tip: It will probably take Bryant several weeks into the regular season before he is up to speed, and we believe he still is being grossly overvalued. Bryant is a No. 5 fantasy receiver, at best, but owners are choosing him as a third option on draft day. Don't make that mistake. If he falls, take a chance on him. Otherwise, let someone else deal with inconsistent, rookie-induced headaches.
