Cowboys RB Felix Jones expected to start
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones told reporters that he expects running back Felix Jones
to start in Week 17. The Cowboys play the New York Giants in what amounts to a play-in game for the playoffs. The winner wins the division and spot in the postseason, the loser's season is over. Jones has been hampered by a hamstring injury in recent weeks but due to limited action last week, the team feels Jones will be ready to shoulder the load in the finale.
Fantasy Analysis:
This game is probably the most important game in Week 17. The AFC West has Oakland and Denver battling for their division, but they don't play each other. This is all you could ask for in the final game of the year. DeMarco Murray
has been on injured reserve and Dallas signed former New England Patriots back Sammy Morris. Morris rushed for just 29 yards on 13 carries last week. That's not going to get the job done. Consider Jones a solid RB2 this week and hope he doesn't re-aggravate his injury if you play him.
