Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is listed as probable for Week 7. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: Fantasy football’s No. 1 running back will look to continue his incredible streak of six straight games with at least 100 yards rushing. Owners who were willing to take on Murray’s risk during draft time have been handsomely rewarded, as he’s found the end zone six times. He hasn’t received fewer than 22 carries in a single game. His only drawback is that he’s lost four fumbles so far this year.
Murray will be taking on a Giants run defense that gives up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Last week, the previously struggling LeSean McCoy carved them up to the tune of 149 yards on 22 carries. This is a juicy matchup for Murray and he'll remain an elite RB1 for Week 7.
