Jason Witten
TE - DAL
2017 Outlook
The Dallas Cowboys and tight end Jason Witten have agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Witten signed a four-year contract extension with the Cowboys Tuesday that will tie him to the club until 2021. This will likely be the 34-year-old tight end's final NFL contract as he will turn 38 when it expires. Witten is in the low-end TE1/ TE2 conversation for the 2017 fantasy football campaign.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten told the media he is "not expecting" to sign a contract extension this offseason.
Fantasy Impact
Witten, who is entering his contract year in 2017, is undecided on his NFL future -- he is not expected to sign a contract extension this offseason. Witten, 34, has played 14 seasons in the league, all with Dallas. If 2017 is his final year, he will retire as one of the most respected and decorated tight ends in the history of the league, all that is missing is a Super Bowl Championship.
Jason Witten recorded six receptions for 59 yards on Sunday. Witten was definitely a top target for the rookie Dak Prescott.
Fantasy Impact
Witten had a different kind of year for the Cowboys. With a new quarterback at the helm, Witten was not as effective as he usually is during the season. Tight-end is a weak position in fantasy and Witten had a weak season.
Jason Witten finished Sunday's game with just one catch for 10 yards. Witten was used a lot less on Sunday, due to the Cowboys locking up the number one seed throughout the playoffs.
Fantasy Impact
Witten is a safety outlet for Dak Prescott. He will be getting more targets throughout the playoffs, especially since Witten has playoff experience. Witten will be a better tight-end to play during the playoffs in DFS contests.
Jason Witten had four catches for 61 yards on MNF. Witten was tied with Dez Bryant and Cole Beasley for the leader in receptions against the Lions for the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
For tight end standards, Witten was very solid on MNF in most fantasy league championship weeks. Witten is a vert important part of the Cowboys passing offense and it showed on Monday night.
