Romo misses another mid-week practice

Fantasy Impact:

Tony Romo had back surgery in December and the Cowboys are being careful to maintain his body through a rigorous NFL schedule. Romo did show good signs of vigor during the Week 3 matchup against St. Louis, as he was not sacked and even had a 16 yard first down run. A lot of Romo's value is derived from his ability to keep plays alive for his accurate arm to shine through. It is well documented that the Cowboys have a mediocre offensive line and if Romo has health issues that slow him down more, his value may plummet quickly. The team is focusing more on DeMarco Murray and the running game, but there may still be weeks where Romo could play as a top-10 QB because he still has a good arm and good weapons. A week 4 matcup against New Orleans is a risky one for Romo owners; the Saints have struggled mightly against the pass thus far in 2014, but Rob Ryan's blitzing schemes and the Saints turnover hungry ways could still cause problems for Romo.
