Over 67 percent of fantasy football leagues on ESPN.com saw Tony Romo rostered and started in Week 2. That means at least one person in 67 percent of fantasy leagues ended Sunday with a good shower cry.

Tony Romo is out for an extended period of time -- it's looking like eight weeks -- and fantasy owners are seeking an alternative option. (The Cowboys probably should, too, but that's for a different article.)

What should you, a Romo owner, do? Let's take a look at three options.

1. Add Carson Palmer

Only Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger currently have scored more fantasy points than Carson Palmer. And while matchups have played a role -- Palmer has faced a banged-up Saints' secondary and a Bears' defense that couldn't stop a thing last year -- we can't ignore what's going on in Arizona right now.

Last year, as I mentioned in Week 1's 15 Transactions column, Palmer finished as a top-16 weekly fantasy quarterback in five of six games played, including three top-10 performances. That means, counting this season, Palmer's been a top-16 quarterback in seven of his last eight starts, and a top-10 passer in five of them.

Not only that, according to our Living the Stream, where my cohost, Denny Carter, and I give waiver wire recommendations at quarterback, tight end and defense each week based on opposition matchup. 

The reason you can stream in fantasy football comes down to basic supply and demand. There's a whole lot of quarterbacks, tight ends and defenses out there, but each team in your 10-, 12- or 14-team league is starting just one of these players in a lineup each week. The supply, then, exceeds the demand. There's a surplus. There are tons of these assets on the waiver wire.

Though it feels uncomfortable, streaming is very viable. There were 41 quarterbacks with at least one top-12, QB1 performance a season ago. And last season, Drew Brees and a little better than Matt Ryan. So far this year, the Dalton-Dalton start (we target passers owned in fewer than 20% of leagues) in Weeks 1 and 2 has brought QB7 numbers.

There's math and logic behind all of this as well. Quarterbacks see the highest volume of any of the positions in fantasy football, which means they're the easiest to predict week in and week out. Because of this, you can target nobodies off the waiver wire and play them in plus matchups with confidence. Like Nick Foles against the Steelers in Week 3, for instance.

So if Palmer's not on your waiver wire, this is the option Romo owners should probably roll with. You shouldn't have much trouble matching the production of, say, Matthew Stafford or Matt Ryan, and you're doing so at zero cost.

And lucky for you, we have a quarterback streaming article on numberFire each and every week.
