The Facts:
Witten long has been the Cowboys' second-best receiver, but he is going to be asked to do more actual wide receiver things this year.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Witten set a club tight end record with a team-best 96 catches last season. No tight end in team history has caught more passes in a season than Witten and only two in NFL history have caught more passes in a season. Lining Witten up in different places won't hurt his chances of continuing at that pace. In fact, the Cowboys plan to exploit defenses choosing to double-team Terrell Owens by having a speed receiver line up on the same side of the field as Witten. The hope is a combination of Witten and the speed receiver would force safeties to make tough decisions about whom to cover when both players are running vertical routes -- routes that allow Witten to excel.
