Cowboys In A World Of Hurt?


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.

Felix Jones, a BEAST on Monday Night?


Dallas Cowboys RB, Felix Jones is expected to get the workload tomorrow night (Marion the Barbarian is listed as questionable, due to a thigh injury), against the Carolina Panthers.  The Panthers defense has given up an average of 168 yards per game on the ground this season, while the Cowboys' offense has averaged 184.5 yards per game on the ground.  Jones' has only 13 carries this season, but has gone for 118 yards on the ground, averaging 9.1 yards per-carry along with a touchdown in two games.  We think that Jones is good for 120 yards on the ground with 2 rushing touchdowns, on Monday night.  Expect big things!
