Felix Jones (Hamstring) Won't Play if the Giants Win

The Cowboys' running back is a 50-50 option to play in week 16

Felix Jones has had an up and down fantasy football season in 2011. And the Cowboys running back is back on a down trend in week 16 against the Eagles.

With Felix Jones' hamstring injury calling him a game-time decision, the Cowboys staff is saying that he won't even play a snap if the Giants win their 1pm game against the New York Jets.

Due to playoff implications, if the Giants win, the Cowboys' game against the Eagles is meaningless, so they'd rather not test him. And as a fantasy owner, you just can't wait to roll the dice on Felix getting on the field.

Dez Bryant Will Be the Odd Man Out Against Bucs; Laurent Robinson a Strong Play

Bryant will likely be the odd man out against Tampa Bay

Who is the fantasy odd man out for the Dallas Cowboys when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 15 game Saturday night?

Odds are it is receiver Dez Bryant.

In the year of “Gotta Eat,” not everyone can be fed on this Cowboys team despite the deliciously appetizing meal the Bucs statistically seem ready to serve up.

Felix Jones is back. And we are all clamoring to use the Dallas Cowboys’ running back in Saturday night’s Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And why wouldn’t we? Tampa Bay has lost seven in a row, is ranked 28th in rushing yards allowed (139.7) on a sixth-most 30.2 attempts per game and are ranked last in touchdowns allowed (19).

Is Cowboys Receiver Laurent Robinson Worth A Start?

If you picked up Dallas' Laurent Robinson, you should start him

So you’ve picked up Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Laurent Robinson off the waiver wire. Now the question is do you start him this week against the visiting Buffalo Bills.

It depends on which Buffalo Bills pass defense are we going to see?

It has been a tale of two pass defenses for Buffalo this season. Four out of the first five weeks they were terrible, the last three they have been pretty solid.
