The Dallas backfield situation is muddied and fantasy owners are forced to make a touch decision this weekend. Read More

It's now being reported that Felix Jones will be back at full speed for tomorrow's tilt against Atlanta. That should equate to less carries for the Dallas trio of running backs.

Marion Barber is still feeling the effects of a quad injury and should be given a few more plays off now that Jones and Choice are healthy behind them. I'm still considering Barber a low end RB2 for this week, but his value for the rest of the season takes a little bit of a hit. Two capable backs stealing carries and an injury to a leg is not ideal for your top runner.

Felix Jones and Tashard Choice owners will need to wait and see how this situation plays out before deploying either player in their starting lineup. I had previously said Choice was a quality start this week, however Jones being back changes his outlook. Both running backs should be owned, but neither can be considered anything better than a RB3 with upside since there is obvious injury risk attached to Dallas' running backs.
