(Update: It appears that Tony Romo will not start today, so the advice below regarding Brad Johnson is relevant. Romo is expected to play only if things “go haywire.”)
(Editor’s Note: This story was written and published before reports began to surface that Tony “I Want to Be Brett Favre” Romo began saying that he wanted to ignore the advice of the Cowboys’ training staff (per 1310 AM The Ticket in Dallas this morning) and play with his injured pinkie this weekend against St. Louis. Obviously, if Tony Romo plays it puts Brad Johnson on the bench. Still, the advice below is worthy of heeding, as Romo could still decide to sit out and is very much at risk of doing further damage to his pinkie should he decide to suit up. This is a situation to monitor as Sunday approaches, and certainly Brad Johnson should be on your radar screen until we hear that Tony Romo has a clean bill of health.)
It’s crunch time fantasy football owners — you know what I am talking about. We are in the meat and potatoes of the season. Week 7 marks the first game over the halfway point to the playoffs. Visit the link to my week 6 results and see why I should be your weekly source for all of your NFL needs and advice.
First, I would like to thank those who wrote into me this week at ProFootballInsight@live.com with their fantasy football questions. This week’s selected question came from Eric in Cleveland.
Eric has both David Garrard and Matt Ryan on byes and needs to pick up a QB. Eric has five options to start at QB that are available on waivers and wants to know who will be the most successful. His options are Matt Cassell, Brad Johnson, Dan Orlovsky, Charlie Frye and Seneca Wallace.
