Week Five: Fantasy Focus on the Cowboys

It's Saturday, so it's time to talk some fantasy football! Let's preview and predict which Cowboys will be fantasy studs, and which will be fantasy duds against the Chiefs.
QB Tony Romo - In each of the last two weeks, Romo has thrown for 255 yards and no touchdowns. Last week against the Broncos, an INT and a lost fumble added insult to injury for Romo owners. This week, he will face the 28th-ranked passing defense in the Chiefs. All signs point to this being the game for Romo to break out of his funk - well...maybe not all signs. WR Roy Williams is doubtful due to some cartilage damage he suffered from stretching out for one of Romo's high throws.
The Dallas coaches would love to go into their Week 6 bye with a 3-2 record. What could be of even greater significance is if they could do so by putting their signal-caller in a position to have a breakthrough game. This funk of Romo's has to end sometime; playing the 0-4 Chiefs should help. Rumors from Valley Ranch suggest that Romo has been trying too hard to play "under control". Expect him to loosen back up to his old gun-slinging ways.
The Cowboys' offense took no shots down the field last week. No way that happens two weeks in a row.
RBs Marion Barber, Tashard Choice - Barber (quad) was still listed as probable this week, but he practiced fully and should revert back to his barbarian-style running. The Chiefs allow 128.5 rushing yards per game. Dallas' big offensive line has paved the way for a per game rushing average of 163.8 yards. This could end up being a huge game for Barber. It's not too far of a stretch to think he could have more than 100 total yards and a score or two.
The only thing that could take away from Barber this week is how the Cowboys utilize Tashard Choice. Because Felix Jones will more than likely miss his second straight game, Choice will be the only other runner the team fields. He already gets the majority of the 3rd-down snaps, which is a little bit of a bonus for PPR leagues. Even if Barber's quad is at 100%, Choice could easily see 40% of the carries. If Dallas rests Barber, Choice is the man.
Make the jump for the rest of the Week 5 Fantasy Focus.
WRs Patrick Crayton - Crayton moves into the number one position because Roy Williams is highly doubtful for this game. Crayton is a do-everything guy for the Cowboys. He returns punts, which helps in leagues that give points for return yards. He often gets in on one end-around or reverse per game, and is good for about four catches. Without Williams in the lineup and if Romo attacks the Chiefs' secondary, Crayton's catches could be up more towards 8-10 balls.
Miles Austin, Sam Hurd, and maybe even rookie Kevin Ogletree (if activated) are also in the mix to pick up the slack. Austin would get the start opposite Crayton and could pull in a big play or two like he did in Week 1 against the Buccaneers.
Overall, the Dallas WRs are risky starts. They will continue to be so until Romo and the rest of the offense consistently puts more points on the board (just 24 offensive points in the last two games).
TEs Jason Witten - Denver did an excellent job in bracketing Witten all game. He finished with 4 catches for 31 yards. That is a darn good Mile High defense. The one in Arrowhead Stadium? Not so much. Expect Romo to feed Witten the ball early and often.
K Nick Folk - Dallas should be able to put up some points on the board against the Chiefs. Folk is a solid start this week.
Cowboys D/ST - Slowly, but surely, this unit continues to improve. They have held opponents to under 20 points per game. The pass rush is improving (3 sacks @ Denver) and DeMarcus Ware forced a fumble in last week's game.
Where's Ware? Everybody seems to be asking that. This has to be the week Ware gets a sack. He's more than hungry; his stomach is growling. Combine that with LB Keith Brooking's lights-out leadership in the middle and CB Mike Jenkins' improved play, and the Cowboys defense could really do some damage this week.
After four weeks of fantasy footballing on FleaFlicker, just one team remains undefeated in the BTB and BTB Part Deux fantasy leagues. Here's what's up in BTB's world of FF.

What
do you guys think of Jamaal Charles? You think he gets a chance to be the main guy this year? I had to drop him in my big money league but Im thinking of grabbing him again.

meh
Pretty good back, but I get the feeling they don’t trust him in KC. He puts the ball on the turf a lot it seems. I’d rather have Jerome Harrison if he’s on your wire. Who else is on your wire?

I
grabbed Harrison 2 weeks ago! Yeah buddy!
Ummm … access to fantasy is blocked here …. but off the top of my head, it’s mostly scrubs. I grabbed Fargas since McFadden isn’t going to play for a few weeks … for some reason though, I was a big Charles believer. I thought he’d take the starting job.
by what_the_crap on Oct 10, 2009 9:27 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He fumbled the opening kickoff against the Giants last week.
That really put him in the doghouse, but Larry Johnson only averaged 2.9 ypc against the G-Men. Personally, I would wait to see how Charles plays against the Cowboys because all signs are pointing that he ain’t in charge.

If you’re planning on playing Harrison this week, keep a close eye on who’s starting Sunday because it looks like Jamal Lewis may come back! Yuck! I think they’d be fools to not give Harrison the nod after his last 2 performances.

I’ve had to start Harrison in my PPR league cuz of injuries and he’s score me 13 and 18. Of course, they did have an extra quarter last week.
Word is, is that Buffalo is missing 3/4 of its starting secondary. Mossaquoiaioueiouu is like a top waiver claim this week.

I have to start him no matter what. Felix and Buckhalter are hurt. Hester is on a bye. Holt sucks. Fargas … meh. I’m stuck starting him. I just hope they realize Lewis sucks, and won’t give him many carries.

I’d still expect split carries even if Lewis is back. He’ll still be productive, I’d just lower expectations.

If you play fantasy you shouldnt be starting any KC players...
They all stink in fantasy football. Jamal Charles isn’t even worth sitting on your bench.. With RW out, Crayton could be a good #2 WR option this week. Romo and MB3 are both good starts also….

Ogletree gets a TD!
Na, probably not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did! I think Romo throws for 2-3 TD’s so he’s definitely worth the start. I’d be scared to start any of the WR’s. Both backs should have a pretty good day but I think it’s Barber who finds the end zone. Folk should be atop all the kickers this week, maybe top 5. I’d expect the Cowboys DST to be top 8 or so.
BTW, if the Saints D is available on the wire, go get them, they’ve been awesome so far.

Who should I start between Portis, Slaton and Ahmed Bradshaw?
Portis has the best matchup of the week, and picked up 98 yards last week, but still doesnt have a TD on the season.
Slaton finally got on track last week, but faces a tough Cards defense.
Bradshaw is still the second guy in NY, but faces a weak Raider’s D, and with Eli’s injury, the Giants should run a lot.
Right now I’m leaning towards Portis and Slaton.
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
by aussie_cowboy on Oct 10, 2009 9:18 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
The skins leaned on Portis heavily last week against a weak TB rush D and it paid off.
I’d fully expect them to do the same this week. You can start 2 of the 3? If so It’s easily Portis and Slaton.

Here in San Antonio, I have to watch the Texans games.
They really do work Slaton, especially since Chris Brown cost them the Jags game by fumbling in the EZ for the go-ahead score.
Bradshaw had a boot on his leg last week. Stay tuned, aussie…I have some digging to do on him for the Beasts in the East Report that should post today.

To me it is a no-brainer, you have to go with Slaton and Portis. Bradshaw is dinged and other two are starters.

I feel your pain with Portis
I got him in the third round and thought I had a steal. I was wrong to this point. Of course, I benched him last week because they weren’t sure he was going to play and he gets 98 yards. I’m starting him this week and hoping that he goes off and the Skins still lose.

I've seen Hasselback is now listed as probable.
Honestly, I’m a sucker for playing guys on MNF so I’m starting Keller or Winslow this week.
Addai is questionable, so that scares me. Brown already gets a good amount of his carries. I’d go with Jackson based on how integral he is to Buff’s offense even if Marshawn gets the start.

Here's what Buffalo Rumblings says about them on the FF page.
Fred Jackson – He’ll remain Buffalo’s "starting" running back for the foreseeable future. He’ll see a lot of playing time. But his workload will undoubtedly be reduced now that a certain suspended running back is no longer suspended. Jackson has been a fantasy mainstay early in the season; while he may be slipping from that status, he’s got a good matchup this weekend, and is a must-start in PPR leagues. Start ’Em in PPR, Consider as Flex in all other leagues.
Marshawn Lynch – His return to the lineup came at the cost of a fully effective Jackson, with less than a yard per carry from Lynch himself, and two moderate gains in the receiving game. Lynch looked very rusty in last week’s loss to Miami, but he has a chance to kick it into a higher gear now that he’s got a game and two weeks’ worth of practices under his belt. Still, Buffalo has tended to go with the hot hand in the past, so if Jackson gets hot, Lynch might not see the field. Sit ’Em, but only for now.

My dilemma
My WRs are all second tier cuz I drafted heavy at RB and took Witten early.
So here’s who I’m looking at this week (Pick 2, please!):
Santana Moss @ CAR
Pierre Garcon @ TENN
Steve Breaston (Q) vs. HOU
Sidney Rice @ STL
I’m leaning towards Garcon and maybe Breaston—this is a standard, non-PPR league.

He scares me. Great the last couple of weeks, but he only had 2 catches last week and I heard (I think on DC.com) that Moss goes one week big, one week bad. That’s prolly more in reference to last season though.

Santana Moss @ CAR-He is feast or famine and has feasted two weeks in a row. Carolina is going run-heavy after their bye week suggests they will kill Washington in TOP. Washington only 21st against the run. NO!
Pierre Garcon @ TENN-Tennessee is dead 30th against the pass and 7th against the run. Garcon is your new Harrison on that team. YES
Steve Breaston (Q) vs. HOU-again, 3rd choice in the pass game, questionable after a bye week not good. NO
Sidney Rice @ STL- St. Louis, enough said and his points are increasing with every passing week. Yes

Rice and Garcon.
Thanks, all!
I think I will stick with these two, but I will keep an eye on Breaston’s condition tomorrow morn.
Isn’t Finnegan also OUT for TENN? That may just have sold me if true.

he was Questionable with his hamstring.

could be, but Jackson will be a risky start from here on out....
Probably won’t be nothing more than a 3rd option in most leagues or a flex spot….

The SBFF page helps out too cuz alot of the sites post their weekly team updates between FRI and SAT morn.
Like the Colts one makes me feel better about Garcon:
WR Pierre Garcon: Look for the Colts to challenge the Titans injured secondary with the big play, and for three weeks now the "big play guy" for Indy has been Garcon. He stretches the field with his speed, and he is physical enough to fight for extra yards after the catch.

Who to start @ 2nd RB?
Deangelo Williams v. Deadskins or Tim Hightower v. Texans??
"When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

Deangelo
Emphasis during their bye is to get back to the run if nothing else to protect Delhomme from himself. Redskins 21st against the run and I know this because I have Deangelo ad can’t wait for his 150 and 2 TDs

Thanks
I figured as much. The “Experts” on BSPN are putting him as more than 5 pt dog to Hightower, but I would really hate myself for drafting him and not playing him if he lights up the skins like I think he could.

Personally, I would never ever bench DeAngelo.
He could get a 30-burger any week of the season. I do see your dilemma, though—Hightower is a solid start this week and could be in the teens.

agreed
You have to start DeAngelo.. Especially with J. Stew battling that achilles injury. The only way Carolina wins if DeAngelo goes off and Vegas has them favored. So, start DeAngelo!

In my big PPR league, I have Pierre Thomas on bye, and McFadden hurt
I do have both Barber, Choice and Kevin Faulk. This may be nuts, but I might just have to play both Cowboy backs.

Not Nuts
Play em both and enjoy

what he said
Also, cut McFadden. Who are the backs available?
Summarizing the Dallas Cowboys in two words; inconsistently amazing.

Barber 1
Do you have to start 2 of the 3?
by cow_fanatic on Oct 10, 2009 11:02 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Faulk is tempting in PPR leagues.
It’s so hard to predict the NE backs becuz they rotate them like every other play. With Fred Taylor out that may help get Faulk on the field more, but they play Denver.
Both Cowboys might be solid and very fun to watch.

How many team league?
Any waiver wire options? How many RB’s’ can you start?

I like Faulk
but with Welker back, he’s probably taking some receptions that Faulk was getting when he was out.

um..a little help please..
(Cowboys bias aside) Tashard Choice @ KC or Chester Taylor @ StL
SF DST vs. Atl or Den DST vs. NE
by MicThaRock on Oct 10, 2009 9:27 PM CDT via mobile reply actions 0 recs
I'd take Choice and SF.
Choice should see more action than Taylor. I say SF defense strictly on a hunch that Denver’s due for a letdown. That’s two tough draws for a defense.
by illcowboy on Oct 10, 2009 9:44 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I like choice.. but the only reason I'd go against SF
is because I think the Falcons are fired up and ready to get back to business. And NE isn’t the team they once were.

Denver game
It seemed Romo attempted to correct his poor ball handling last game. But has not been able to get the right combination. Good QB and ball protection. He seems to be see sawing back and forth between the two.
