RB Ryan Williams, the former Arizona Cardinals second-round pick who signed with the Cowboys this summer, raised eyebrows with his impressive running late in Saturday's preseason game. But Joseph Randle, who the Cowboys gave a third-round grade coming out of Oklahoma State, has performed better on the whole since camp started and has consistently been ahead of Williams on the depth chart.

"Joe Randle right now is really playing outstanding," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Tuesday on 105.3 FM The Fan. "That's not an exaggeration."

Randle, who averaged only 3.0 yards per carry last season, has gained 91 yards on 20 carries in two preseason games, getting a lot of his work against the San Diego Chargers' starters. He looks more decisive and more elusive than he did last season.

Fantasy Impact: 

The two are competing for the RB3 spot behind DeMarco Murray and Lance Dunbar. Who ever wins the job would likely see a jump in snaps if something happens to Murray.

Like Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray took part in his first preseason game Saturday night at AT&T Stadium.

Murray played the first two series, getting the ball on nine of Dallas’ first 14 plays.

The fourth-year back carried eight times for 34 yards and turned a short screen pass into a 21-yard gain. Murray also failed to secure a Romo handoff on the game’s opening series and the fumble was returned for Baltimore’s first score.

Fantasy Impact: 

Murray said he's ready to carry the ball however many times they give it to him, but that's the big question - will the Cowboys run more this year. With an aging Tony Romo coming off back surgery, one would think that would be the case but we've heard reports that everyone in the Dallas organization loves to throw the ball, so a lot remains to be seen. Murray is a low-end first round pick to high-end second round pick in just about any format.

The Dallas Cowboys have talked about building their success around the offensive line, which means running the ball more.

Thursday’s preseason opener against the San Diego Chargers was a good start.

The final numbers look only pedestrian -- 23 carries, 92 yards -- but the first drive offered a bit of hope that what the line has done so far in training camp can carry over to when the games start for real Sept. 7 against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Cowboys ran the ball six times for 29 yards with the first-team offensive line on the field for one series, and that included a no gain on the first carry. Joseph Randle, who was starting while DeMarco Murray and backup Lance Dunbar rested, gained 50 yards on 13 carries.

Cowboys beat writer Todd Archer on the team's running game: I believe you'll see DeMarco Murray go from a career-high 217 carries in 2013 to 250-plus in 2014 provided he stays healthy. He's not been able to play a full season yet, so there is concern there as well. But with an offensive line with three first-round picks and a defense that will need protecting, the wise thing to do will be to run more ... once they get the lead with the passing game. They can't win games 14-10.

Fantasy Impact: 

Murray should benefit from OC Scott Linehan “growing the pie” offensively (i.e. more plays, and more rush attempts). His FP/touch was #14 among the top 60 running backs in 2013, so if he sees an increase from the 19.3 touches per game he saw last season (and stays healthy), a top 5 season is well within reach.
