DeMarco Murray, Lance Dunbar, Joseph Randle's Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

Joseph ZuckerNov 27, 2014

Although the Dallas Cowboys fell 33-10 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving, fantasy football owners who started DeMarco Murray aren't complaining. 

Murray was one of Dallas' few bright spots. Even if he failed to eclipse the century mark, few can find much fault with his showing.

The touchdown was big in that it broke a four-game scoreless streak for Murray, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar also got two carries apiece.

Murray's no longer on pace to eclipse 2,000 yards, but he remains an obvious must-start in every fantasy format. No running back is a surer thing than the 26-year-old. Even in his worst performance of the year, he went for 79 yards, which isn't bad if that's his floor.

Murray will also continue being one of the most valued running backs in daily fantasy leagues.

The Cowboys play the Chicago Bears next week, which means that Murray doesn't have a hugely favorable matchup. On the other hand, the Bears rank 14th in rush defense, according to Football Outsiders, so it's not as if Murray is looking at the toughest defense in the league.

Unless Murray goes down, both Dunbar and Randle remain fantasy afterthoughts. Right now, there's no reason to believe that they'll get enough touches to even warrant a place on your bench, unless you've got a deep roster/league and can afford to have a dead spot or two.
