DeMarco Murray, Lance Dunbar, Joseph Randle's Post-Week 15 Fantasy Reaction

Even when DeMarco Murray isn't finding cavernous running lanes—which has been rare in 2014—he is finding other ways to be a fantasy superstar. 

During the Dallas Cowboys' 38-27 win over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night, Murray was met at or behind the line on many of his touches, finishing with a season-low (by far) 2.6 yards per carry. Still, a heavy workload helped transcend that unusual inefficiency: 

Player	Car	Yds	Avg	TD	Fan Pts*
DeMarco Murray	31	81	2.6	2	20.4
Lance Dunbar	5	22	4.4	0	2.8
Joseph Randle	2	13	6.5	0	1.3

Once upon a time there was talk of Murray's workload being limited, but that hasn't been the case. He has now recorded over 30 carries in two straight weeks, putting him at 351 for the season. And in Week 16—the most important week in most fantasy leagues—there's no reason for that to change. 

The 'Boys are up against the Indianapolis Colts. Not only did Indianapolis enter Week 15 with the 27th-ranked rush defense, per Football Outsiders' advanced metrics, but Dallas will want to control possession and keep Andrew Luck off the field as much as possible. 

Put it all together, and Murray is a top-three option going into championship week. 

Finally, with bench depth not as important in the final week, Lance Dunbar and Joseph Randle should be owned as handcuffs, just in case of an emergency.
