Cowboys to watch
Here are the Cowboys I'm keeping a close eye on tonight.
Tony Romo - He's faced two weak secondaries thus far. Let's see what he does against a real defense.
Julius Jones - Basically benched late last week, Jones needs a big effort against his brother's old team are risk losing touches to Marion Barber. He has to look competent.
Patrick Crayton - Been quiet this season in starting role. Will have to beat some speedy, but smallish corners.
Jason Witten - Tight ends usually struggle against the Bears, although Antonio Gates did well in Week 1. I rolled with Witten this week because he's the number two receiver on a high scoring team.

Gregg -
I benched Cedric Benson in favor of Cadillac Williams this week, so I'll be curious to see if Benson can put together another solid yardage game (and maybe find the endzone)...
A question about player performances from earlier today. My team is staggering to a probable 2-1 start, because I've lost both Brandon Jacobs and Andre Johnson. My league only has 4 bench spots total, so it's tough to do anything while carrying two injuries on your roster.
My remaining 3 WR's are Santana Moss (who had a disappointing day until the final drive); Brandon Marshall (who finally busted a big game); and Santonio Homes (who has had two disappointing games in a row).
There are a number of Free agent receivers I could pick up. Dwayne Bowe (nice day for the second week in row) comes to mind, as does Shaun McDonald (ditto).
How do you feel about cutting Santonio in favor of one of those guys? My thought is that the Steelers offense is not looking like the Arians spread passing attack that we all anticipated. Holmes might bust a big play now and then, but he just isn't getting the looks.
Thoughts on his future for the rest of the season? I don't want to dump him too early, but I need to win while Johnson is hurt.
Sticking with the Steelers, Jeff Reed is still available in my league - do you think he'll keep up the consistent slew of FGs? (I've currently got Gostkowski)
Thanks!
