FANTASY OUTLOOK
You can make a strong case for Witten to be the first tight end off the board. His numbers don't lie. He is good for 90-plus receptions for 1,000 yards. His reception and yardage totals will be among or the best of any tight end. The only thing that doesn't make Witten the sure No. 1 overall tight end are his lack of scores. He has yet to score double-digit touchdowns for his career and averages five per season for his career.
Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten said he understands that his career is on the downward slope, and that the team's championship window could be closing. 'You try not to think about the window,' Witten said. 'But obviously, we're realists. We understand where it's at. I feel great and we're playing great.' As the team's core ages, Witten acknowledged the franchise's mindset has focused squarely on returning to relevance this season. 'It's about now,' Witten said. 'I think that's how this whole organization thinks, from owner to head coach to veteran players to rookie players. That's the way this league works.'

Witten has gone a season-high five straight games without a score, and he has 47 or fewer yards receiving in four of those five outings dating back to Week 11. The effort Saturday, Dec. 24, was good enough to help Witten pass Drew Pearson for No. 3 on the team's all-time receiving chart. Witten has 7,840 yards, passing Pearson's 7,822.
