OutlookThe Cowboys certainly have the talent to win the NFC. The big question is can they put it altogether? You just never know with this group but don't discount them to make a run this year. The defense is improved and the offense could be scary with Murray as the starter for a full season at running back. This squad can be explosive on both sides of the ball. |
|
DeMarco Murray, RB. Murray was on his way to a breakout rookie season before injury struck. But he flashed enough to show he is the future at the position and has a tremendous fantasy upside. As long as he stays healthy this year, he can be a fantasy stud, getting around 1,800 total yards and double-digit scores. He is the real deal for fantasy teams. |
|
Jason Witten, TE. Witten won't be a huge bust but might be overvalued some come draft day. He had his lowest reception and yardage total since 2006 last season and scored just five touchdowns. He turns 31 before the start of the season and has never scored double-digit touchdowns during his career. He'll be a productive fantasy player once again but isn't at the same level of some of the other elite guys. |
Team Notes| May 23, 08:52 PM |
Dallas Cowboys FS Matt Johnson said he believes he suffered hamstring injuries last season because he was using too much weight while doing squats in the weight room and is now doing more specialized workouts. 'We've done more hamstring work instead of putting on 400 pounds and squatting,' Johnson said. 'When I was in college, I did that some. When you get to the pros, and playing at safety, I don't need to squat 500 pounds. We did more position specific and more dynamic work. You don't need to be a bodybuilder to play football. I was big enough.' | | May 23, 10:14 AM |
Dallas Cowboys WR Dwayne Harris is considered the front-runner for the No. 3 wide receiver job behind WRs Miles Austin and Dez Bryant, and it is believed WR Terrance Williams will need a strong training camp to supplant him. | | May 22, 10:13 PM |
Dallas Cowboys LB Sean Lee (toe) has reportedly been moving well during organized team activities (OTAs), as he comes off a serious toe injury. | | May 22, 08:13 PM |
Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said WR Dez Bryant is 'really, really a joy to coach.' 'He has such passion for the game,' Garrett added. 'He loves it. He loves his teammates. He loves to play.' | | May 22, 11:12 AM |

Dallas Cowboys offensive line coach Bill Callahan said Tuesday, May 21, that he didn't feel the need to sit down with OT Doug Free after he renegotiated his contract last week. 'I'm really proud of the way Doug has handled everything that has transpired in the offseason,' Callahan said. 'He's been very positive, he's been forthcoming, he's been hard working and he's not let the business side affect the playing side, which I think has been tremendous, so in that regard I just have the utmost respect.' | | May 21, 09:13 PM |
Dallas Cowboys CB Morris Claiborne has bulked up from 185 pounds to 193 pounds during the offseason. He said Tuesday, May 21, that he is getting used to the added weight, but is happy it's there. 'Anytime you're out there playing corner you have to be ready, you have to be ready to tackle when the opportunity presents itself, so with me putting on a couple of pounds and getting more physical and being in the weight room I think is going to help out a lot,' Clairborne said. | | May 21, 09:13 PM |
Dallas Cowboys team owner and general manager said Tuesday, May 21, that head coach Jason Garrett is 'not coaching for his job this year.' | | May 21, 09:13 PM |

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) said he didn't know about the cyst on his back when he signed a six-year, $108 million extension in March. Romo said he didn't have any pain in his back until mid-April. Romo expects to be ready for training camp, and he could even be ready for a minicamp in June. He said he's already fully healed after having surgery to remove his cyst. | | May 21, 05:03 PM |
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant said he found himself, and that has led to a quiet offseason with no off-field issues. 'I found myself,' Bryant said Tuesday after the Cowboys' first organized team activity. 'I'm comfortable with my life. I'm enjoying being in the NFL. I wish it could've been a couple years back, but I had to go through a couple of things to figure it out. I think I got it and I'm just more focused on my job and doing what I love to do and that's playing football.'
Fantasy Impact: Bryant is capable of leading all fantasy receivers in scoring this season. He has huge upside. |
