Few quarterbacks have generated as much press, both in the real and fantasy game, the past half-decade as Tony Romo.His supporters have annually hailed him as a potential top-five fantasy quarterback, his critics suggesting hes not worth the headache. The latter group received evidence to support their cause on Saturday, when it was discovered that Romo has a compression fracture of his L1 vertebrae, per ESPN Nation Dallas Cowboys reporter Todd Archer -- an injury that might cost Romo 6-10 weeks.Romos backers do have a point about his productivity: Since the start of the 2011 season, he has averaged 16.4 fantasy points per game, 11th best at his position. Romo also scored at least 250 fantasy points in each season from 2011 to 2014, joining Drew Brees as the only quarterbacks who can claim that. In fact, Romo is one of only seven quarterbacks with four 250-plus-point fantasy seasons in the past five years.Unfortunately, during that same time span, Romo has missed 14 games, more than all of the other players who averaged better than him except Peyton Manning (19.0 average, 22 games missed). Romo stayed relatively healthy from 2011 to 2014, but last season a fractured left collarbone, his third such instance in the past six years, limited him to just four games.At 36 years old this season, coming off an offseasons worth of rehabilitation from that injury, he was hurt on only his 16th preseason snap. Romo is now a highly risky fantasy pick, off the radar in standard ESPN leagues and more of a speculative pick for a possible half-seasons worth of production. Romo is now my No. 25 quarterback until we get a firmer read on whether he could return on the earlier end of his projected timetable. Ive also considered dropping him to 28th -- making him more of a bench/No. 3 option in two-quarterback leagues, or a bench pick in leagues with the flexibility of IR/injury spots.In Romos absence, Dez Bryants fantasy value becomes a great concern as well. From 2012 to 2015 -- the four-year span during which Bryant has been regarded a clear WR1, a 200-plus-point fantasy potential player -- he averaged .239 fantasy points per snap played when Romo was on the field, compared to .144 when Romo was not. Extrapolating that to Bryants typical 50-55 snaps played per contest, that difference would be roughly five fantasy points fewer per game. In 2015, however, the difference was more negligible: .138 with Romo compared to .132 without, which would be roughly one-third of a fantasy point per game.The impact upon Bryant will fall upon rookie Dak Prescotts shoulders. Lets not forget that from 2012 to 2015, Bryants limited production was largely the result of having Matt Cassel, Kellen Moore, Kyle Orton and Brandon Weeden throwing him the ball. Prescott has been a sensation this preseason, and he represents a potential upgrade from those four, making it much more likely the per-game impact on Bryant might be closer to 2-3 fantasy points than five. But if youd argue the difference will be more negligible, remember the learning curve rookie quarterbacks face in the NFL, and remember never to overrate preseason statistics.With Bryant working roughly six games (or more) with Prescott, his fantasy value takes a slight hit, making him a more questionable than certain WR1. Hes now my No. 10 wide receiver and No. 20 player overall; thats an end-of-second-round player in standard 10-team leagues, which is a drop-off from his previous near-first-round value.Prescott, meanwhile, moves up to No. 32 among quarterbacks, thanks to the likelihood that hell be an NFL starter through at least October. Although hell be a risky fantasy play almost every week, his encouraging preseason coupled with his starting status thrusts him into the rankings tier with other quarterbacks in similar circumstances like Blaine Gabbert (30th), Jimmy Garoppolo (33rd) and Trevor Siemian (34th). In fact, the case can be made that Prescott is a more attractive pick than checkdown specialist Gabbert, particularly in two-quarterback leagues where weekly upside is most important.As for the remainder of the Cowboys offense, Ezekiel Elliott might gain a tad more risk in September games, as his preseason injuries could cause the team to be slightly more conservative with his workload. The team was already likely to be run-heavy, so Elliott might absorb closer to 15-18 carries initially with backup Alfred Morris taking 5-10, but the impact of Romos absence wont affect the rankings. I caution: Those who select Elliott need to be patient; his best games might come from Oct. 1 forward, and that would have been true even if Romo was the Week 1 starter.Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley are slightly less appealing options in larger leagues -- think 16-plus teams -- but tight end Jason Witten could benefit somewhat as a potential safety valve for Prescott. Since data hasnt supported this being a statistically significant thing, however, Witten remains ranked my No. 15 tight end.Custom Angels Jerseys . Just not the game.

We had so many opportunities that we didnt capitalize on that night. We played very well, but just fell short. It was a great learning lesson for the whole team, and the young guys who got to play.Watson, who passed for 266 yards and ran for a touchdown in that game, has gone 25-2 as Clemsons starting quarterback since and has rewritten the Tigers record book. But hed like nothing more than to finish his career with a winning record against the Seminoles.The teams clash in a prime-time matchup Saturday ( 8 p.m. ET, ABC) at Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla.The third-ranked Tigers (7-0, 4-0 ACC) have a bit of a cushion over the No. 12 Seminoles (5-2, 2-2) as far as the Atlantic Division race is concerned but that doesnt detract from the rivalry.Were 7-0, so weve reached our goals so far, Watson said. And were in position to control our own destiny.The Seminoles dont. To get to the ACC championship game, they need to win this game and have the Tigers and Louisville also lose one more time to create a potential three-team deadlock at the top of the standings. That would throw the berth into the minutiae of tie-breaking procedures.The Seminoles also are clinging to hopes that even with two losses they can finagle a way into the College Football Playoff. FSU coach Jimbo Fisher isnt campaigning for that but doesnt think such a development is out of the realm of possibility.If you can figure out college football right now, tell me, Fisher said. You cant. Were in a crazy time right now. You dont know whats gonna happen. I could see it happening, I could see it not happpening.ddddddddddddBut it wouldnt surprise me a lick.The Tigers are going into the game following an open date that came at the most opportune time. Running back Wayne Gallman appears ready to go after suffering a concussion in their last game Oct. 15 against North Carolina State. He rushed for 103 yards against Florida State last year.Were healthy and rejuvenated and ready for this week, Watson said. We were able to get some guys healthy and get guys to recommit to their goals and what they really want to do for this season and this team.Last year we played for 10 straight weeks and kind of slowed down at the end of the season. This is chance for us to build momentum for the next five weeks.Wide receiver Hunter Renfrow returned for Clemson against N.C. State after missing four games with a broken bone in his hand and came up with several clutch catches. The former walk-on, who had touchdown receptions in four straight games dating back to last season before suffering his injury, may be Watsons most dependable target.Its good to have Hunter back, Watson said. Hes an all-around playmaker and another weapon for this offense.For Florida State, running back Dalvin Cooks return to form has been a factor in the Seminoles rebound from a 1-2 start to the season. He has rushed for 900 yards for the season, is coming off a 115-yard effort in last weeks victory over Wake Forest, and rushed for 194 yards and scored the Seminoles only touchdown in last years loss to Clemson.The most encouraging sign for the Florida State is their recent resurgence on defense. After giving up 177 points their first five games (a 35.4 average), they held then-No. 10 Miami to 19 and Wake Forest to just a pair of field goals the last two games. Defensive end DeMarcus Walker, who is second in the nation in sacks with 8.5, had two against the Demon Deacons. ' ' '
