Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten (ankle, knee) is listed as probable for the team's Week 3 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Witten was limited in practice in Wednesday and Thursday before getting in a full practice on Friday and there was never any doubt that he would play. Witten has 15 catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Jason Witten injury update: TE probable, will play for fantasy owners
The Dallas Cowboys tight end is listed as probable for Week 3. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy impact: With star receiver Dez Bryant out for the near future, Witten is a good bet to soak up the targets along with receiver Terrance Williams. The issue is that the targets will be coming from backup quarterback Brandon Weeden as starter Tony Romo suffered a collarbone injury last week and is missing at least eight weeks. While Witten was able to haul in two touchdowns in Week 1 against the New York Giants, expecting similar end zone success with Weeden under center is a bit ambitious. He remains in the TE1 conversation, but owners should scale back their expectations.
