Extra Points: Week 16 Fantasy Studs

Saturday.. Saturday... Saturday Night's alright for... the NFL. Don't forget to set your roster. Most of you are in your championship game week so every play is important. This week you aren't playing any push over, its the second best team in the league, aside from yourself. Let's get the ball rolling with tonight's game.

Ravens at Cowboys
You'd expect a defensive battle tonight with the Ravens allowing the second fewest points in the league, allowing a hair over 15 points per game, but I don't see that happening on a short week in Dallas, the last home game at this stadium. (I've been by the new stadium and it is an amazing edifice) Both teams need the win, but I think that Dallas needs it more. When Dallas wins the drama remains low. Expect the Ravens to bring the pressure with Marion Barber still out and thus Tony Romo will look to his next best target, Jason Witten. Witten has 20 receptions his last 3 games compared to just 4 receptions his prior 4 games. The feud is over between Witten and Owens. Sure Owens will get his looks, but can you really trust him to hall them in, especially with Ed Reed looming? Linebacker blitzes provide great opportunities for a TE to cut over the middle.
