The 28-year-old has been given at least two field goal attempts in each of his three games, and could be active again on Monday, with this matchup against Buffalo having one of the highest over/unders on the slate at 49.5. The game is in Atlanta, so Romo will not have to contend with the elements, however, there are likely safer and higher-upside options available to fantasy managers.
