Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle (back) has been ruled out for the team's Week 8 match up against the Seattle Seahawks. Randle did not participate in practice any day this week and never had a realistic shot at suiting up.

Fantasy impact: Making matters worse for Randle is that he could also be facing league discipline for a domestic incident in February. With Randle out of the picture for the immediate future, veteran Darren McFadden will take over as the team's lead back. McFadden had far and away his best game of the season last week against the New York Giants, finishing with 152 yards rushing on 29 carries and one touchdown.
That was McFadden’s first game of the season with more than 10 carries and he took full advantage. He’ll struggle to find as much room against Seattle though -- its defense gives up the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. McFadden is locked in as a low-ceiling RB2.
