The Dallas Cowboys could be in a world of hurt. Marian Barber missed Monday night's game; to make matters worse Felix Jones suffered a knee injury during the Cowboys' Monday night win against the Panthers. Both Barber and Jones can be very productive fantasy backs. We think Barber has a 75% chance of playing in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Felix Jones on the other hand, could see an extended period of time on the sidelines. Cowboys' owner, Jerry Jones is very concerned about the severity of Jones' knee injury. It is uncertain right now ow long Felix Jones will be out for, but Jerry thinks Felix will need an MRI. The injury was initially labeled as a knee strain, but it is likely the injury is more severe. Ignore Felix during week 4, and continue to track the progress of Marian Barber. If Tashard Choice receives a fair amount of touches he could have a good week. Don't rely on him though, the Denver Broncos' are only allowing 78.3 yards per game on the ground, and are second in the league in total yards given up. These defensive stats may be a little tainted considering the fairly "weak" schedule the Broncos' have had thus far. Regardless of the schedule we feel the Broncos' will shut down Dallas' running game. Marian Barber is the only Dallas RB that should be considered week 4, but only if he is guaranteed healthy on Sunday.
How do you think Romo will do this week?
ReplyDeleteWith the RB's a little banged up, the Cowboys primary source of offense will probably be through the air. The Broncos defense has been outstanding this year, but it could be in large part due to a weak schedule. The Broncos do have a top 5 CB in the league in Champ Bailey, and Brian Dawkins has been tremendous thus far. We see Romo having, a good game in terms of fantasy, but not amazing. 250 yards passing with 2 touchdowns.
