Running Back Rank: #36
Overall: #83
Jones missed about all his rookie season because of a torn ligament in his toe. He played in six games before landing on Injured Reserve. Jones displayed his big-play ability when he was on the field, though, averaging a robust 8.9 yards per carry. Needless to say, Jones is a home-run threat every time he has the ball in his hands. He should play a bigger role in the Cowboys offense this season, serving as a compliment to Marion Barber. Jones has track speed and can make plays to the outside in a hurry. He needs to get bigger and stronger, though, if he hopes to be an every-down back in the NFL.

Jones could become a player like Chris Johnson if all the pieces fall into place. But with Barber around, Jones' touchdown potential is limited. Consider him a great flex play and spot starter at the No. 2 back spot. Jones has good total yardage potential and is capable of a big game any given week. Take him in the fourth or fifth round come draft day. |

| Gerry Fraley, of The Dallas Morning News, reports the Dallas Cowboys will continue to use a ''spread'' kickoff return. RB Felix Jones has had a return of at least 30 yards in each of the last two games. Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis said, ''We'll continue to work on it and see if we can keep that area going. That's one area I haven't been pleased with at all this year.'' |

| Gerry Fraley, of The Dallas Morning News, reports the Dallas Cowboys are reluctant to use RB Felix Jones for more than roughly 10 carries per game out of concern he will break down. |
| Fantasy Impact: It makes sense. Jones hasn't proven he can hold up to date. This obviously really hurts his fantasy value, though, getting limited carries. |

| Gerry Fraley, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said he would like to see RB Felix Jones get more touches because he believes Jones would be a big-time producer with more opportunities. |
| Fantasy Impact: This keeps getting said over and over but his workload hasn't increased much. Don't get too excited. |

| Gerry Fraley and Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, report Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones acknowledged that he probably will not be used as a kickoff returner in the team's Week 10 game. In the last three games, Jones has averaged only 21.4 yards on seven kickoff returns. |

| Rob Phillips, of DallasCowboys.com, reports Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said RB Felix Jones will get more offensive touches as he gets healthier. Jones would see less time as a kick returner if his offensive touches go up. |
| Fantasy Impact: Jones has been really hit or miss with his limited touches this season. |

| Fantasy Impact: Jones should be ready to go this week, but isn't likely to have his same role before the injury. We would probably avoid him this week. |
