Fantasy Impact:
Witten has been quarterback Tony Romo's safety valve for the past nine years, with his impact only increasing in the playoffs. His 21 yard reception on 4th and 6 on Sunday was case and point of Romo's comfort with Witten. He has averaged 15 more yards per game in his five playoff games with Romo than his NFL career, but has not caught a playoff touchdown. Witten has done well against the Packers in his six games, averaging 68 YPG with two touchdowns and 5.5 receptions per game. The Packers ranked tenth against TE this year, so Witten has his work cut out for him, but should continue to be Romo's top option for safer routes.
