Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Cowboys WR Dez Bryant Will Dominate

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has been off-and-on this season and has been coping with a bruised thigh.

But Bryant will prove to be fantasy gold for owners in Week 6.

On the other side of the spectrum, Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who passed for 416 yards against the Oakland Raiders in Week 5, is headed for a fall.

Here's your Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for the week.

Start 'Em: Dez Bryant, WR, Cowboys

Before heading into the Cowboys' Week 5 bye, Dez Bryant caught two touchdown passes. Now, with a chance to rest his bruised thigh, Bryant has a chance of exploding once again for fantasy owners.

The Cowboys are matched up with a New England Patriots secondary giving up 326 passing yards per game in Week 6. That's the worst mark in the league. On top of that, quarterback Tony Romo, through all his bad decisions, makes a lot of pretty throws and he knows how to put points up on the board.

Bryant will break out in Foxborough.

Sit 'Em: Matt Schaub, QB, Texans

Schaub may have tossed for 416 yards in Week 5, but his performance wasn't as spectacular as it appeared. He actually completed less than 50 percent of his passes.

Schaub will be without star wideout Andre Johnson on Sunday against the vaunted defense of the Baltimore Ravens. On top of that, he has a sore shoulder and banged-up thigh that has caused him to be held out of practice this week.

Nothing like going up against the Ravens without your star receiver and tentatively nursing injuries.

This is not the week to start Schaub.
