DeMarco Murray still working to push off on injured foot, fantasy value remains low
Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is still working to push off on his sprained foot. We break down the fantasy implications.

Murray has been a limited participant in some recent practices but Felix Jones has been starting in his place since the injury. The Cowboys face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners have been hearing for a while that Murray is close to returning, although not being able to push off on an injured foot doesn’t sound like he’s that close to getting back on the field.
Jones has been spotty at best for the Cowboys, making more of an impact as a receiver than as a rusher. He was held to just 14 yards rushing on Thanksgiving Day but finished with 61 total yards and scored on a 10-yard pass. Jones remains a mid-to-low No. 2 fantasy running back in most weeks.
