Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
DeMarco Murray
#6 Ranked RB
Gut feeling, the Cowboys will try to run as much as possible. That’s what they did last week even when they were getting blown out by the Bears. Green Bay gives up the 10th most fantasy points to opposing RBs and you know he’ll get the work. Even after missing two games, he’s the 8th highest scoring fantasy RB on the season. Start him.
Other Clear Starters: Jason Witten (TE)
Gut Calls
Tony Romo
#12 Ranked QB
His fantasy mediocrity frustrates his owners each week. This is a great match-up, but we’ve heard that before and it didn’t yield results. Last week he threw for 104 yards and three TDs. It’s amazing that a QB can end a game with only 16 fantasy points after throwing three TDs. Unexplainable. He’s only thrown for over 300 yards three times this season. He’s certainly not terrible, but he’s also not a Must Start QB.
Dez Bryant
#5 Ranked WR
Okay, okay, okay. It’s borderline sacrilege to rank Dez outside of the top 10, but he scored under 10 fantasy points in four of his last five games. Last week he only caught two passes for 12 yards, but luckily he found the end zone. That still only gave him 7.20 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues. The Packers do give up the 9th most fantasy points to opposing WRs, but like Romo, we keep telling you they have a great match-up and they keep underperforming. Hopefully they break that trend, but it is scary.
Bench Warmers
Dallas Defense
#22 Ranked DEF
You may be tempted to play whatever defense goes up against the Rodger-less Packers, but do not do it. Dallas is on track to be one of the worst defensive squads in the league history. You cannot depend on them. Ask all of the people who started the Oakland Defense against the Jets last week. Go with the better defense.
