2008 NFL Fantasy Football - 2008 Dallas Cowboys Preview

Can Romo and Owens Carry Your Fantasy Team

The Dallas Cowboys have been a great source for NFL fantasy football leagues for several years now. In 2007, the Cowboys held true to form, and provided many viable options to fantasy owners. After a season in which the Cowboys went 13-3 in the regular season, Dallas seems primed to light up the NFL fantasy football scoreboard yet again in 2008. Lets look at how the Cowboys stack up at the key 2008 NFL fantasy football positions.

Quarterback - Tony Romo has secured his position as the leader for America's Team. While Romo has certainly impressed through his two NFL seasons as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, Romo also has fell apart at crunch time for two straight years.

While certainly these late season collapses have not all been on Romo's shoulders, he certainly has contributed to them. Tony Romo is not the same quarterback in the last month of the NFL season as he is throughout the NFL regular season. This needs to be fixed pronto if he is to step into the 2008 NFL fantasy football quarterbacking elite.

At his best, Tony Romo is as good as it gets in NFL fantasy football at the quarterback position with the exception of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Romo is primed for another solid NFL fantasy football season with the Dallas Cowboys. At his worst, Tony Romo is still a solid pick that will give you an occasional headache.

As far as 2008 NFL fantasy football draft value, put Romo behind only Manning and Brady on your draft chart. The 2008 NFL fantasy football season should be a bit of a breakout year for Romo. The Cowboys have all the pieces in place for Tony Romo to succeed and he is entering that magical season three for NFL starting quarterbacks. Look for Romo to take a step into the 2008 NFL fantasy football elite.

Running Backs - Whatever took the Dallas Cowboys so long to allow stud running back Marion Barber to carry the load? After using Barber as a goal line battering ram for most of his time in a Dallas Cowboy uniform, Barber finally got the chance to shine late last season. The result was Julius Jones being sent packing and Barber inheriting the starting spot going into the 2008 NFL football season. It is about time.
