Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is coming off his worst game of the season ... in which he still managed to put up 73 yards and a touchdown. Murray has been held to fewer than 100 yards just twice this season. The first was against the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 2, and the second was against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. But Murray has been incredible outside of those games, putting up 288 carries for 1,427 yards and eight touchdowns.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 14: DeMarco Murray
DeMarco Murray is trying to rebound from his worst game this season. We break down the fantasy implications.

On Thursday, the Cowboys will take on the Chicago Bears, and Murray will be eyeing another big game. The matchup itself hasn't mattered much this year -- he's run well against good and bad rush defenses. However, the Cowboys' offensive game plan might become a factor. Chicago ranks No. 10 in the league in stopping the run, but 30th at stopping the pass.
Fantasy Impact: Even if the Cowboys elect to throw it more against the Bears and open up the offense a little, Murray is obviously a must-start. He will be for the rest of the season, and he’ll be one of the highest-drafted backs heading into next year as well.
