Lets talk Jason Witten. Any news on the injury?

Was in a tier of his own pre-injury.

Now he is coming off the buy, team is desperate, and QB is back.

Are owners who rostered him keeping on the bench, starting him hoping he goes, trading him? If trading what are you expecting in return.

 

[SpecOpLoad]

Starting him here! No choice!

 

[Bankerguy]

Witten will play. However, we all know he is NOT 100%.

Broken ribs do not heal in 2 weeks.

 

[varmint cong]

I think you have to go with him and his HUGE upside with romo, i'm a little torn having a Scaife (ppr) but start the stud

 

[Buffaloes]

Have Owen Daniels and Witten..Probably will roll with Daniels this week.

For what it is worth, Jason Witten has the toughest schedule vs the TE for the remainder of the season.

Add this to two broken ribs, and a (possible) upgrade at the #2 WR spot in Roy Williams, and I think Witten is still solid, but not the uberstud he was over the first 8 games or so.

I took these into account and used him in a package to acquire Greg Jennings... not that anyone cares about my team, just pointing it out as a gauge on my thoughts on his prospects going forward.

from Rotoworld:

Jason Witten (ribs) was limited in Cowboys practice Wednesday.Witten had the Cowboys' Week 10 bye to rest and probably will play Sunday night against the Redskins but keep an eye on how he's listed Friday.

Thanks for sharing bro! I traded Ja Witt for Jennings straight up today In week 3 the same guy wanted me to trade witten for bolding staright up. I was worried about all the plates in Boldin's face at the time...

 

[Raider Nation]

Wondering if my fellow Witten owners are just going to plug him in this week as usual?

I know I need my head examined, but I'm considering Billy Miller over Witten this week. Brees seems to love the guy.

 

[horseman]

Just traded for Witten.

Starting him in PPR, and just can't bring myself to start Scheff over him, even though Scheff has the matchup.

 

[T.A.]

Started him in the one league I have him. Keller is closing-in on the line up though.

i have witten on all of my teams, i think these first couple weeks will definitely be better than we've seen lately, and i expect him to finish the year much like he started. teams will have to jump through hoops to cover both TO and Williams, leaving the middle open for Witten and Barber

uberstud??? eople_who_use_the_term_uber: you took these things into account and used him in a package to acquire Jennings?

 

[Uncle Leo]

I'm going with Witten over Heap. Not with confidence though.

I don't buy this argument for tight ends. (I do for RB's, which is why I traded Marion Barber.) But tight ends often are the piece of the offense that actually flourish against good defenses. At least in Witten's case, I hope this is true.

I'm not talking about the defenses he is facing in general, but the points allowed by those defenses against the TE.

about the uber point... whatever.Can you explain why you're pointing to the shirt beause I got Jennings for Witten? I don't get it.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Did he start?

Jennings: 64 yards, TDWitten's move.

Jennings: 64 yards, TDWitten's move.

Witten: 2 catches, 34 yards.So, at least for this week, I guess I don't have to (which was used wrong in the first place anyway)

 

[Raider Nation]

Guy is killing me lately.

 

[jcuadrado]

yeah....it's officially time to look for other options....something is obviously wrong with him...the playcalling...something. I'd rather have 5 pts from Mercedes Lewis week to week...

 

[timschochet]

There's just no way to predict tight ends with any accuracy at all. Witten might have a good game next week; who knows?

But here's the source of my optimism. Week 14, the Cowboys get the Steelers. Week 15, they get the Giants. Both of these teams put a lot of pressure on the QB, and they both shut down the running game. When this has happened in the past, Romo has gone to his safety valve very often, and that is Witten. So I'm hoping that he produces for me in the FF playoffs.

I hope you are right. I am worried there is more going on then hurt ribs. That is a very painfull injury but that is what the pharmacy is for.:needle:

 

[AgentMulder]

Like everyone else is saying I don't think you can rely on Witten much anymore. He's just not getting the targets that he used to and I'm sure it's due to the injury. I know most of us drafted Witten and expected him to carry us through the season and didn't get a reliable backup. Fortunately I have Keller, I hope most of you have something to lean back on, because I don't think he's going to be putting up the numbers we expected any time soon.... Sympathys to all my fellow Witten owners
