Darren McFadden injury update: Cowboys RB active for fantasy owners in Week 11
The Cowboys’ starting running back is going to see plenty of action today. We break down the fantasy implications.

ESPN’s Ed Werder said Sunday morning that the Cowboys are expected to use McFadden “as much as possible” during their matchup with the Dolphins. With only Robert Turbin and Rod Smith in the mix, McFadden should continue to see a heavy amount of usage.
Fantasy impact: DMC is averaging over 26 touches per game as the starter for the Cowboys. That’s not going to stop anytime soon. He’s in sole possession of the No. 1 job, and with Tony Romo back in action, he should have even more room to run without opposing defenses focusing only on the Dallas ground game.
Miami allows the second-most fantasy points to running backs. This is one of the best scenarios McFadden could hope for. You better have him in your lineup for Week 11.
