Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones did not practice on Wednesday because of a bruised knee. The injury forced Jones to sit out the final drives on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Phillip Tanner took carries in place of Jones.
Felix Jones misses practice, fantasy value stable for Week 8
Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones (knee) did not practice Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Jeremy Brevard-US PRESSWIRE
Jones had 74 total yards in the win at Carolina and could start again in Week 8 against the New York Giants if DeMarco Murray is inactive on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: The injury to Jones is not thought to be serious and he should be available on Sunday. Murray also did not practice on Sunday but there are reports that the team doesn’t think he will be available against New York.
Jones would be a solid No. 2 fantasy running back in Week 8, assuming Murray is unable to play on Sunday.
