Fantasy football waiver wire-Week 11 pickups
Tony Romo-QB-Dallas Cowboys (47.3%)
If you are looking for a QB, the top option available in most leagues is Tony Romo who has been sidelined since week 2. He suffered a broken collarbone in Dallas’s win over Philadelphia, and the Cowboys have gone on to drop their last seven games since with Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel trying to hold things together.
While Dez Bryant is still less than 100%, he is back and Romo should return to a full complement of weapons for a Cowboys team that is somehow still in the race for a playoff spot in the NFC East despite their atrocious 2-7 record.
Romo was dropped in over half of ESPN leagues, and he unquestionably offers the most upside from the widely available QB’s. Romo started the season by leading Dallas to a big win against the Giants throwing for 356 yards and three touchdowns in the first game where the Giants clock mismanagement came back to haunt them (who knew then it would be a trend).
He will try to pick up where he left off as he returns this week against the Dolphins in Miami. It doesn’t get easier for Dallas who then return home to host the Panthers on Thanksgiving Day. Romo and the Cowboys will be in must-win games the rest of the way, so if you can grab him, he’s a top-15 option the rest of the season and can definitely be a top-10 option coming down the stretch when he’s back to full speed.
