SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #9   
Overall: #9


Barber was having a fine season before hurting his knee late in the year, which limited him the last five or so games. His stats really suffered because of this. Despite the missed time, Barber still had 1,300 total yards and nine touchdowns. Felix Jones will take some of the work from Barber as his backup, though. Jones missed about all of last season because of injury. Barber is a touchdown machine. He has 42 scores in four seasons. And he proved to be a capable No. 1 back last season before getting hurt. Barber isn't a speed back, but runs with tremendous power and also has decent moves in the open field for a man of his size. And he can really catch the ball, averaging 48 receptions the last two seasons.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
We worry about Jones taking some of his work, but Barber should remain the goal-line back on a very good offensive team. He'll get double-digit scores and should be able to notch 1,400 total yards as long as he can make it through the season without injury. Barber is a solid No. 1 back and mid to late first-round pick for fantasy teams.
On his Twitter page, agent Drew Rosenhaus tweeted Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber III (toe) toe injury is behind him and he is completely healed. He is ready to resume full activity healthwise.

Tim MacMahon, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said he believes the running attack will be a bigger factor for the team in 2009. He wants the team's coaching staff to find a way to get all three running backs - Marion Barber III, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice - involved in the offense. Owner/general manager Jerry Jones has made it clear he wants Barber fresh later in games when it is time to finish a game. The 'Wildcat' formation would be one way to get multiple backs involved, but Phillips wants the coaching staff to figure out other ways to also feature the backs.
Fantasy Impact: This could be a fantasy nightmare, but it makes sense for the Cowboys since they have three good backs.

Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber III (toe) played sparingly in the team's Week 16 game. He is not 100 percent and likely will not be the type of back he has been for most of the season if he plays in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact: Tashard Choice is the back to use in Dallas right now.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said the team could have used RB Marion Barber III (toe) more in their Week 16 game if RB Tashard Choice got tired.
