Fantasy Profile: Jason Witten, TE, Dallas Cowboys

Jason Witten finished 2014 with 64 receptions for 703 yards and grabbed 5 touchdowns. This is a very good season for a typical tight end but was actually a lower than normal statistical season for Witten, who has been the consummate workhorse in the Dallas offense over the years. Dallas ran the ball with DeMarco Murray in huge doses last year, which cut into the opportunities and statistics of Witten. Yet quarterback Tony Romo still leaned on Witten in key situations, and he remained a trusted member of the offense in crunch time.

Murray is gone and Dallas will be throwing the ball more in 2015. That is good news for Jason Witten owners in fantasy football.  The only question mark is age, how much longer can Witten produce from a position where he’s taken an awful lot of hits over the years.
