Tony Romo

A look at the Cowboys running game Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys promised they would continue to rely on the running game with Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden even without DeMarco Murray as their top tailback.

In Sunday’s 27-26 win against the New York Giants, Tony Romo threw 45 passes, his most in a game since 2013. Last year the most he threw in a game was 41 times in an overtime win against the Houston Texans.

But game situations dictated what looks like a larger-than-expected reliance on the passing game.

The Cowboys closed the first half in a two-minute situation and closed the game with 12 passes on their final two drives to overcome a 10-point deficit with 8:01 to play.

“I thought when we ran the ball it was efficient,” offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said. “We’d like to pop a few long runs, but I didn’t think that our running game was a concern at all. There were some things that were there. It was just a weird game.”

Fantasy Impact: 

The Cowboys running was one of the bigger fantasy questions coming into the season and, as expected, Randle looks like he's going to lead the way in terms of carries. Randle carried 16 times for 65 yards. Darren McFadden had six carries for 16 yards. The Cowboys’ 80 yards on 23 carries on Sunday would have been a season low in 2014. Their lowest total last season was 92 yards on 25 carries in a loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Cowboys Beat: 'All indications point to' Joseph Randle as No. 1 option in Dallas backfield

Whether Joseph Randle starts Sunday or not won't be nearly as significant in determining the Cowboys' lead option in their running back-by-committee approach for replacing DeMarco Murray. What's more telling is which running back will receive the most carries.

All indications point to Randle as being the Cowboys' No. 1 option in their backfield to begin the season.

Cowboys coaches wouldn't say this week which running back would start against the Giants. But if practice is any indication, it will be Randle.

Randle practiced with the first-team offense all week and received the majority of the work.

Fantasy Impact: 

We believe Randle is the back to own in Dallas, but given the uncertainty in the backfield, his 4th round price was too much to recommend on draft day.

Darren McFadden

Cowboys claim uncertainty about who will start at running back

Joseph Randle is listed as the starting running back on the first depth chart released by the Dallas Cowboys in advance of Sunday’s opener against the New York Giants. But both coach Jason Garrett and vice president Stephen Jones admit they have not yet decided who will start.

It could be Randle, who was the backup last season to the departed DeMarco Murray, who ran for a team-record 1,845 yards. It could be free-agent signee Darren McFadden, who is looking for a fresh start after a disappointing and injury-dotted seven years in Oakland. Or it could be Christine Michael, the newly-acquired 2013 second-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks who came over in a trade Sunday.

“We won’t outline anything before the game,” Garrett said. “We’ll give each of those guys a chance over the course of the week to show us that they’re worthy of opportunities.”

Jones said the starter will likely be decided in practice this week.

Clarence Hill added via Twitter: "The Cowboys don't have a pitch count for Darren McFadden who is the likely starter at running back for the season opener."

Fantasy Impact: 

As McFadden has stayed healthy and the team added Michael to the mix, Randle's stock has slipped significantly over the last couple of weeks. Owners should take a long-term approach with Randle, since it's not likely that McFadden stays healthy for a full 16-game season. The beat writers seem to think that Michael was added for depth, not to become the starter. That said, Randle is much less attractive than he was a month ago.

Cowboys RB roles come down to the wire

After nine organized team activities, three minicamp practices, 20 training camp practices in Oxnard, California, two more in Texas and four preseason games, the Dallas Cowboys still don’t have an idea how their running back situation will shake out in 2015.

For a team that thrived on the success of the running game in 2014 with DeMarco Murray leading the NFL with 392 carries and 1,845 yards, the Cowboys will go into the regular-season opener Sunday against the New York Giants relatively blind.

They have hope the combination of Joseph Randle, Darren McFadden and Lance Dunbar -- and potentially Christine Michael as the year gets going -- can come close to what Murray did last year.

It’s a stunning difference in how the Cowboys entered 2014 with their running game.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story points out if the Cowboys’ picture was clear at running back, they wouldn’t have felt the need to add Michael. His résumé is not so plush that he is automatically better than Randle, McFadden or Dunbar. He can be a piece to the puzzle, however, taking four tailbacks to a game is a luxury, not a necessity. The story also points out the competition never really took off as maybe the team hoped due to injuries in camp.
