5 Months Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten caught five passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in Dallas' Week 15 win over the Steelers. Astoundingly, the touchdown was just Witten's second of the season even though he entered Week 15 with 92 catches on 124 targets. The yards were actually fewest since Week 3, but Witten has now notched five or more grabs in 10 of his past 11 games. If Witten notches three catches in Week 16, it will give him the first 100-reception campaign of his career. The 97 grabs are already a new personal best. | 6 Months Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten caught six passes for 108 yards in Dallas' Week 13 win over the Eagles. He also secured an Eagles' onside kick with 0:31 remaining. Witten was once again Tony Romo's preferred pass catcher, receiving a team-high eight targets in his third 100-yard game of the season. Witten has drawn a mammoth 120 targets on the year, putting his weekly average at 10. All the looks have him on pace for a 73/1,091/1 line. The 1,000-yard campaign would be his third in four seasons, and fourth of his 10-year career. He's locked in as an upper-echelon TE1 heading into the fantasy playoffs. | 6 Months Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten caught nine balls for 74 yards in the Cowboys' Week 12 loss to the Redskins. He's now caught at least six balls in nine straight games. Witten was Tony Romo's go-to target over the middle against the Redskins, after the early-game Cole Beasley experiment failed. Witten finished with a team-high 15 pass targets. Keep rolling out Witten as a mid-range to high-end TE1 when the Cowboys face Philadelphia in Week 13. | 6 Months Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten caught seven passes for 51 yards in the Cowboys' Week 11 win over the Browns. Witten doesn't have the same juice in his legs as he once did on after-catch runs, but he continues to be a safety valve and effective, efficient possession target for Tony Romo. Witten has frequently given the Redskins' pass defense problems historically, and they will square off again on Thanksgiving Day. | 6 Months Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten hauled in eight passes for 47 yards at Philadelphia in Week 10. Witten saw a team-high 10 targets, mostly on dump-offs and check-downs for a paltry 5.9-yard average in a conservative attack. Along the way, he regained the NFL receptions lead among tight ends from Tony Gonzalez. Witten remains PPR gold heading into Week 11 versus the Browns. | 7 Months Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten caught seven passes for 51 yards in Dallas' Week 9 loss. The seven grabs give Witten 754 for his career, moving him past Michael Irvin for the most in Cowboys history. Although a terrible start to the season had the 30-year-old Witten's career in question, Tony Romo's favorite safety valve has now reeled in an eye-popping 50 catches over his past five games. With half the year gone, he's on pace for 116 receptions, 1,076 yards and two touchdowns. The catches would be a career high. Witten's catch and yardage paces should fall off, but his touchdown rate will almost certainly increase. He's locked in as a TE1. | 7 Months Dallas Cowboys Jason Witten caught a Cowboys record 18 passes in Week 8, but it wasn't enough for Dallas in its 29-24 loss to the Giants. Witten racked up 167 yards on a whopping 22 targets. Witten was a vacuum with vice grips as the Cowboys looked to erase a 23-0 deficit, making an unbelievable amount of grabs against tight coverage in traffic. After a horrendous, drop-marred three-game stretch to begin his season, Witten now has 43 catches over his past four games. You could say he's re-solidified himself as a must-start TE1. | |
