NFL
5 Players With Crazy Touchdown Potential in 2014
With fantasy football scoring skewed so heavily towards touchdowns, these five players can bring you home championships this year.

Dez Bryant, WR, Dallas Cowboys

Over the last two seasons, Dez Bryant has 14 touchdowns on 35 red zone targets. That 40% touchdown rate puts him second in the NFL among wide receivers with 25 or more.

With Scott Linehan's arrival in Dallas, Dez will have a ton of opportunities to show off this efficiency. During Linehan's time with the Lions, they were the most pass-heavy red zone team in the league, throwing the ball on 63% of their red zone snaps compared to the league average of only 52%. And the Cowboys' 57% over the same time period.

On top of this red zone efficiency, Bryant is nearly unstoppable on the goal line. On plays run from the 5-yard line and in, Dez has 10 touchdowns on 14 targets over the last two seasons.
