Should You Start or Sit Bryant in Week 9?
Pat Bryant has yet to reach 25 routes or a 60% snap share in an NFL game, but he got in on the fun last week against Dallas with his first score, a play that served as a good reminder of why we liked this profile in the preseason.
The 24-yard TD was a nice mix of athleticism and awareness. Raw ability and grace.
Personally, I think he’s the real deal and a must-get in dynasty situations. When it comes to redraft, I need him to be on the field more before he gets a top 40 ranking from me. The talent isn’t a question in the slightest, but Bo Nix hasn’t been the most consistent QB this season, and you’re playing a thin parlay if you want him to look good during the snaps that Bryant is on the field.
If he can bump into the 70% range of snaps, we might be onto something. That could happen during the second half of this season, though I’m not expecting it. Keep Bryant rostered for now and hope that his path to playing time clears.
