And the frustration goes on for Demarco Murray owners. It appears that he will not play on Thanksgiving and those wise enough to have handcuffed with Felix Jones may reap the rewards in Week 12. Felix Jones has been downgraded after missing practice today. With the Cowboys playing the Redskins on Thursday and so many questions you are going to pay close attention if you want to use any Cowboys RB this week.

FANTASY FOOTBALL SPIN

Over the last 5 weeks the Redskins have allowed opposing RBs 18.9 fantasy points per game. That’s with the charity afforded by Andy Reid refusing to use one of the best rushers in the league. The bottom line is that this is a good matchup for the Cowboys but without Murray and possibly without Jones it’s a roll of the dice. Lance Dunbar and Philip Tanner split first team carries at practice today. We will keep you posted but you should plan on going outside the Cowboys backfield this week unless it becomes clear that Jones will play.
