Cowboys RB Darren McFadden to begin practicing

Nov 21, 2016

It’s not every day a team can add the fourth-leading rusher in the NFL from the previous season to its roster, but that’s what the Dallas Cowboys will do this week.

Darren McFadden, who ran for 1,089 yards last season, will begin practice this week after spending the first 11 weeks of the season on the non-football injury list because of a broken elbow suffered in the spring.

Fantasy Impact:

The Cowboys will be able to have McFadden practice for three weeks before having to add him to the 53-man roster or moving him to injured reserve. If he is not activated by the Dec. 18 meeting against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he will not be eligible to play this season.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
