Career Synopsis: Tony Romo has been below his fantasy projection 4 out of 6 years. His best fantasy QB ranking was #2 in 2007, and he has had a total of 3 seasons with a top 20 ranking. Fantasy Trends: Romo fell below his previous year fantasy game average last year. Player Consistency: Tony Romo was one of the top 5 most consistent QBs last year (ranked 5), and he was also one of the top 10 most consistent players overall (ranked 6). Career Experience Outlook: Romo is entering his 7th year in the NFL. Over the past 15 years, on average, QBs in their 7th year have seen an increase in fantasy pts per game of 0.07 from their 6th year. Position Outlook: Throughout his career Romo has averaged 5.25 fantasy pts per game less than the league QB average. The average fantasy pts per game by QBs in 2008 was 14.57. Depth Chart Change: No Change in Depth Chart. Player Turnover: Based on prior performance, a change in roster skilled positions projects a lower fantasy average of (1.03) pts per game for Romo. At the Running Back/Full Back position: Deon Anderson (2008 Avg: 0.48 Pts/Game) is now starting. At the Wide Receiver position: Terrell Owens (2008 Avg: 7.24 Pts/Game) has left the team and Roy Williams (2008 Avg: 3.52 Pts/Game) has been added to the starting lineup. 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: Romo had a lower fantasy avg (13.90 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (17.91 pts/game), so with a more difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could be an indication of less points. Defenses: From a defensive standpoint, Romo faced defenses that were stronger last year (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 13.69 - 5 Top 10 Defenses and 3 Top 5 Defenses) compared to the upcoming season (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 19.15 - 3 Top 10 Defenses and 1 Top 5 Defense), and this season's teams gave up more passing yards (214 yds/game including 5 Top 10 Defenses and 4 Top 5 Defenses) compared to last season's teams (202 yds/game including 6 Top 10 Defenses and 4 Top 5 Defenses). Starting Position Performance against Defenses: Starting Quarterbacks averaged more points (15.87 pts/game) against this season's teams compared to last season's teams (15.27 pts/game), which could be an indication that Romo will exceed last year's fantasy point total. In Season Trends: Throughout his career Romo has been a quick starter, and a slow finisher. On average his best 4 game stretch is the first 4 games of the year (24.46 pts per game), followed by the 3rd quarter (21.49 pts per game), 2nd quarter (17.51 pts per game) and 4th quarter (17.31 pts per game).
