Tony Romo has horrific Week 1 start

In the Cowboys opening day Week 1 matchup against the 49ers, Tony Romo completed just 23 passes on 37 attempts for a stat line of 281 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. (Rotoworld)

Fantasy Impact:

We knew going into the season Romo was a late round gamble. Although being drafted late, there is some value to be had throughout the season as the Cowboys have great RB, WR and TE fantasy talent. This was not the case in Week 1 against a stout 49ers defense. What is scary about this is that in the past, we would blame the terrible play of the Cowboys offensive line. After Sunday's performance, we have only Romo to blame. In Week 2, the Cowboys will be at Tennessee, who is coming off a 26-10 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. It is noted that the Titans' defense did pick off Alex Smith three times, while giving up a total of 202 passing yards. Alex Smith is not Tony Romo, but It should be another battle for Romo, his fantasy owners, and the Cowboys. Start looking for a SOS [Strength-of-Schedule] start in place of Romo as a Plan B.
