The Cowboys tight end exploded last week against the Cleveland Browns. When the clock struck zero last Sunday in Cleveland, Witten had caught eight passes for 134 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets.
Fantasy Impact: Dallas’ tight end could see his touchdown streak come to an end this Sunday when the Cowboys take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
No tight end has finished with more than 100 receiving yards against the Steelers’ defense in the team’s last 34 regular season games. Plus, only two tight ends have been able to score a touchdown against Pittsburgh this season.
Yahoo! is projecting Witten to finish with just five catches for 46 yards on Sunday against the Steelers. The outlook for him does not look too bright, so fantasy owners might want to look elsewhere for a starting tight end this weekend.
