Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray missed the final three games of the season with a fractured ankle while Felix Jones finished up in his place. But if owner Jerry Jones' words mean anything, Murray will have his starting spot back as soon as he recovers.
"He's just harder to bring down than Felix," Jones said of Murray. "Felix has the quickness, the vision and can get outside. But Murray did bring that dimension of power, and there's probably not five pounds worth of difference between the two. But he finishes. He's just so powerful into the finish. And there's no question that he really gave us a lift last year."

Fantasy Analysis:

Murray and Jones are both injury-prone, but there's no doubt that Murray was the more effective runner last year. As a midseason pick-up, he carried a lot of fantasy squads to the playoffs, mine included. I don't know what the work split will be between the two backs, but I figure Murray will get about 70 percent of the touches; that's just my guess. If he heals well from his ankle surgery, I think Murray will be a very strong RB2 for 2012.
