Fantasy Impact: The Cowboys line does not need another injury. Dallas has struggled in the past with pass blocking for Tony Romo, and now with an injury to Costa the offensive line takes another step back. Ryan Cook, who the Cowboys just traded for less than a week ago, will step in to take his place. The Giants will surely target him right away with their outstanding pass rush. This is the last thing Romo and DeMarco Murray owners want to hear. Keep an eye on this situation to see how the line holds up for these two fantasy studs.
