Projection: 110 yards rushing; 4 receptions, 20 yards.

• New Orleans at Dallas 8:30 p.m.
Tony Romo, QB, DAL:
Romo hasn’t produced the greatest fantasy numbers the last three weeks, but this week he will be in a shootout against the Saints and will be playing from behind most of the game.

Monday, Sept. 29
• New England at Kansas City 8:30 p.m.

Brady is experiencing his worst year in fantasy in a long time, and it’s time for him to prove his haters wrong. Brady won’t blow up against the Chiefs, because Kansas City has a tough defense. Brady will throw for a few TDs in this game.
