Dallas RB Felix Jones will miss week 7, perhaps longer

Oct 17, 2011

Running back Felix Jones sprained an ankle, which will keep him out at least one game and likely longer.

Jerry Jones said he is "concerned" about his starting running back's availability for the short term. It is a high-ankle sprain.

Without Jones, the Cowboys turned to DeMarco Murray, who finished with 32 yards on 10 carries.

Murray said he is ready to assume a bigger role with Felix Jones on the sideline.

Fantasy Impact:

Murray seems to be next in line to get carries and Tashard Choice will likely be in the mix, too. The Dallas running game hasn't been impressive this year but can be a factor in the passing game. Choice has three catches last week while Murray had one. Murray looks to be the guy to target off the wire if you need help, but it's likely he won't rank much higher than a borderline RB2.

“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.
