Tony Romo does individual work on Wednesday, fantasy owners eyeing Week 11 return
The Cowboys can’t get Tony Romo back into the lineup soon enough. We break down the fantasy implications.

Romo has been throwing for two weeks, but despite being eligible to practice, he isn't allowed to return to game action until Week 11's tilt with the Miami Dolphins. If he does, it would put Romo's recovery at nine weeks since fracturing his collarbone against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Cowboys have since gone 0-5 in Romo's absence and just saw current starting quarterback Matt Cassel average less than 4 yards per attempt on 25 passes in Week 8.
Fantasy impact: It isn't a stretch to say fantasy owners cannot wait for Romo's return to action, especially those with Dez Bryant and Jason Witten languishing on their rosters. Romo's absence has also caused the values of Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley to be nearly non-existent, thus further depleting a perpetually draining pool of fantasy wide receivers.
Romo re-enters the QB1 conversation upon his return, although it can’t be guaranteed that it would come as soon as Week 11. But if the Cowboys remain in the NFC East race despite a losing record, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to expect Romo makes a return as quickly as possible.
