Tony Romo

Romo out with a broken Collar Bone - early estimates (from MNF/Adam Schefter) of 8-10 weeks!

The way the Cowboys are playing, this injury may end Romo's season. They have no reason to rush him back.

Romo was my crutch for week 8, had a hell load of bye week players. trying to get kitna, but i'm pretty low on the waivers list. i'm sure someones gonna snag him before me... bleh..

Grab Fitzgerald [Buffalo] if you can. His numbers over 4 weeks rival most QBs over 7. 11 TDs in 4 games. Three of his receivers are on the most targeted list. He played against the Jet's and Raven's DEFs so he hasn't just been playing easy teams.

I think you mean Fitzpatrick.

Yes, thanks. Sorry guys. To make me look better, The Cowboys are now saying that Romo's return late in the season may depend on their record...as I said a day or two ago. =)

Don't expect Romo back this season.

Too bad about his injury, but you gotta admire his competitive nature. Check what he says at 1:58 into the clip.

Does anyone here think Romo will be back by week 15 just in time for the fantasy playoffs and for the juicy matchups against Washington and Arizona? I'm seriously considering picking him up.

Over at Yahoo, there's speculation he could be back as early as week 13.

I claimed him (and Kitna) this week for a few reasons...

1. Cowboys are loaded with talent on the offensive side of the ball, for at least 1 week - they played like it under Garret.
2. Dallas QB's are averaging 21.96 FFPPG in the league where I picked the both of them up - Romo around 23.5, Kitna around 19.5.
3. Their schedule is flat out juicy - DET, NO, @ IND, PHI, WAS, @ AZ - they should either a) be able to compete w/ everybody on the schedule, b) be playing catchup, c) WAS/AZ weeks 15/16 is extremely QB friendly week 15/16.
4. If the team plays like it did this past weekend, and truly wants to finish strong for Garret, they have the skill position players in place to at least finish the season as what they were projected to be - an elite fantasy offense (I also picked up their D/ST for the same reasons)
5. I have the roster space at this point in the season, and the last thing I want to do is give any opponent an unnessacary edge, even if I never play Romo/Kitna/Defense, I really doubt I was every going to play Burelson/Carlson/Detroit - and I doubt anybody would have the balls to roll those 3 out at this point in the season anyways.
6. If he comes back, he has the potential to be the #1 scoring QB over the last 3 weeks of the season - no different than catching the Harrison/Charles/Foster lightning in a bottle last year or nay other late season pickup in years past that lead to fantasy titles
