Fantasy Football 2014: Dallas Cowboys RB Rundown
The Cowboys are definitely a flawed team which both infuriates Cowboys fans and delights Cowboy-haters. There isn’t a much more polarizing team in the league–either you’re a Cowboy fan or the attention paid to “America’s Team” drives you crazy. While Dallas has issues, most of them lie on the defensive side of the ball as over the last few years the Cowboys offense has performed pretty well (at least until crunch time). That includes their rushing game which has turned out several fantasy-relevant RB in the last few years.

The Dallas system is always looking for a “feature back,” and they have a pretty good one when DeMarco Murray can be on the field. This offseason, his backup Lance Dunbar has generated quite a bit of buzz and is also worth keeping an eye on in your fantasy draft.
As we continue our RB rundowns series, we start the day with a look at the Cowboys backfield from a fantasy football perspective. Dallas’ backfield hasn’t been short on points the last few years, so they definitely deserve consideration if you can get one of their running backs at the right price. The ranking listed next to the player should help you determine what that price should be since it’s based on my overall top 80 rankings which should give you a good idea of where I think they should fit on your roster.
