Week 9 Injury Status and Other News
He was not listed on Friday's official injury report.Week 9 Matchup Info
at Philadelphia Eagles (Tough matchup) - As our own Joe Bryant is fond of pointing out, things move fast in the NFL, folks - suddenly, Dallas at Philadelphia is a battle of the top teams in the NFC East. Both teams have an overall record of 5-2, though the Eagles have won both their previous divisional games, while the Cowboys are 0-1 in the NFC East so far. Dallas has won three game straight - the Eagles have salted away two straight wins (both in division). The fading Giants sit at 5-3, looking up at the Cowboys and the Eagles.As Austin Miles excels (21/482/5 receiving in the last three games), former #1 WR Roy Williams has bumbled along (3/35/1 receiving in the last two games) further cementing Miles' role as the new lead receiver in Dallas. Williams said after his most recent poor performance (2/19/1 out of 7 targets), 'I don't know what it is. We worked early in the off-season, came in a month before everybody, throwing every day. He throws to me every day and it's just not there right now.' In fact, over the past three games, Austin has commanded 30 targets for the afore-mentioned 21/482/5, followed by Jason Witten (21 for 14/136/0), and Patrick Crayton (15 for 9/92/1). Williams just isn't converting enough passes into plays, folks. Tony Romo hasn't seemed to miss a beat, though, thanks to the emergence of Miles - Romo is the fourth best fantasy QB in the land in points per game over the past four weeks with 62/99 for 918 yards passing with eight TDs and zero interceptions (with 10/46/0 rushing to boot).
The Eagles' pass D is one of the league's most feared units, with 14 interceptions (third in the NFL, currently) and 17 sacks to date (tied for 19th). They are vulnerable to big plays (to go along with their ball-hawking tendencies) - the Eagles have given up 11 passing TDs in the past seven games, while averaging 193.7 net passing yards allowed per contest (10th in the NFL). On balance this is a good, but not elite unit. Eli Manning threw for 20/39 yielding 215 net yards, one TD and two interceptions against the Eagles last week - Jason Campbell had 29/43 for 246 net yards, two TDs and one interception the week prior.
Romo is on fire entering this game, averaging over 300 yards and 2.66 TDs per game in his past 3 contests - he'll have a tough time with the Eagles in their aerie at Lincoln Financial Field, though.
