Schedule Difficulty:
Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Romo playes this year (102 - 105 - 1 0.493%) will be more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule from last season (97 - 109 - 2 0.471%), but this season's teams gave up more points (4,644) compared to last season's teams (4,427) so this could mean more fantasy points.
Performance Against Sub 500 Teams:
