I know rostering Jason Witten feels a little bit like going to Dairy Queen and ordering a vanilla cone. But let’s be honest. With Brandon Weeden at the helm in Tony Romo's stead, how deep are the Cowboys going to want him to push the ball down the field? My guess is probably about as deep as Jason Witten's deepest route.

Take last week for example. Witten was targeted 8 times, reeling in 6 catches for 65 yards against the Falcons. Terrance Williams, the team's number-one receiver stand-in for Dez Bryant was only targeted twice and didn't catch a single ball. The rest of Weeden's throws were either check downs to running backs or short-range throws to Cole Beasley.

This week, Witten gets to square up against the Saints weak defense against opposing tight ends. That's who Greg Olsen just demolished last week, as a reminder. As such, Witten is our highest-projected scoring tight end of the week, yet is only the fourth-most expensive at the position. And with the Saints projected for a seven-point win in New Orleans, the Cowboys figure to be playing some catch up, where he could really clean up in garbage time.

Take the safety Witten provides in your cash games and roster him with confidence.
