Tony Romo finishes fantasy season with a dud

Tony Romo went 20-for-37 passing for 218 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions during the Cowboys’ loss to the Redskins on Sunday night. We break down the fantasy implications.

Tony Romo went 20-for-37 passing for 218 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in an ugly performance during the Dallas Cowboys' loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday night. Romo was harassed throughout the night by a blitzing Redskins defense and consistently made poor decisions.

Entering the game, Romo had been spectacular. Over five weeks, Romo threw 13 touchdowns to just three interceptions. However, he relapsed into bad habits with a playoff spot on the line Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: It’s a good thing for fantasy owners that most leagues end in Week 16. Romo looked flustered Sunday, and no doubt impacted fantasy teams finishing up their championship games. He is still a worthwhile fantasy target for next season, but his bad reputation will knock him further down draft boards next than the numbers suggest he should be.
