Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten's Post-Week 11 Fantasy Advice

Tony Romo's return to the field couldn't have come at a better time for the Dallas Cowboys or your fantasy football team.

Dallas ended its seven-game losing streak Sunday in a 24-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins, and Romo was a big reason why:

Comp./Att.	Yards	TD	INT	Carries	Rush. Yards
18/28	227	2	2	2	2

The Cowboys play the Carolina Panthers on Thanksgiving, which means starting Romo may be a bit risky in Week 12. Beyond that, though, he should be considered a QB1. Even if his repaired collarbone is less than 100 percent, it didn't look to be affecting the four-time Pro Bowler, per ESPN's Ed Werder:

Darren McFadden and Robert Turbin are Dallas' top two running backs, which is to say the Cowboys will rely heavily on the passing game as they cling to whatever playoff hopes they still have at this point in the season.

Having Romo back also has a knock-on effect for the Cowboys' other playmakers, such as Dez Bryant and Jason Witten.

Bryant found the end zone once in Week 11, boosting what otherwise would've been a marginal showing:

Receptions	Targets	Yards	Long	TD
4	9	45	16	1

Whether Romo, Matt Cassel or Brandon Weeden was the Cowboys' starting QB, Bryant's fantasy value has never fluctuated—at least when he was healthy enough to play. He's a WR1 in any format unless you have Antonio Brown, Julio Jones or DeAndre Hopkins on your roster, especially with Romo under center.

Ideally, Bryant will find a little more consistency after posting just one 100-yard game in five appearances.

Witten, on the other hand, is starting to show his age. Romo targeted him just three times, with Witten catching two passes:

Receptions	Targets	Yards	Long	TD
2	3	27	15	0

His numbers have decreased with each season following 2012—his last year with at least 1,000 yards receiving. Entering Sunday, Witten was averaging 9.1 yards a catch in 2015, which is almost two full yards below his career average of 11 yards.

While his days of being an elite option are gone, the 33-year-old still retains low-end TE1 status. Tight end is such a volatile fantasy position on a weekly basis that you like having somebody who should deliver between 40 and 60 yards receiving each game.
