1. Dez Bryant will have first 100-yard game of this season

It eventually has to occur for Dez Bryant this season. The Cowboys’ star wide receiver has yet to record 100 or more yards receiving in a game this season. He’s been close with 98 yards in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, but since then, he’s not even gone for 80 yards in a game.

Bryant has caught a touchdown pass in the past two games with a 50-yard touchdown against the New York Giants last Sunday and also caught for a touchdown against the Washington Redskins.

It has been over a year since Bryant last had 100 yards receiving in a game, with that being a 116-yard performance in Week 10 last season at the Pittsburgh Steelers. In all of 2016, he had just three games of 100-plus yards.

The last time Bryant went a season without a 100-yard game in a season was 2011, his second year in the league. Bryant is due to have at least one 100-yard game this season, as the Raiders defense allows nearly 242 yards passing per game.
