Sounds like this is going to be a nightmare situation.
That's what I'm doing although it's with Morris. Right now I have Crabtree in at the flex but if Felix is out I'm going with Morris.
Not sure if I said this in this thread or the Morris one, but my concern is that due to the Dallas RB situation, it may be virtually impossible for Felix to be declared inactive. Can anyone fill us in on who would back up Morris if Jones couldn't go? It's one thing to give a RB the vast majority of the carries, but a team has to have an active back up just in case, right?
If Chauncey Washington is called up from the practice squad that's a pretty good indication Jones either won't play or the Cowboys are expecting him to be limited.
Watch to see if they pull an RB off the practice squad. I think I heard the name Chauncey Washington (?)
Did that happen today or was he already up when the week began?
Happened on Tuesday, I believe. The kffl.com blurb had Morris and Washington splitting reps with Felix on the sideline.
I hadn't seen him called up. Thanks for the info.
No problem. I'm assuming this makes it more likely that Jones will be inactive? Also, I believe that Miles Austin is the "Oh ####, all we have left is Tony Fiametta" back. Similar to how Owen Daniels was the backup to T.J Yates in the Leinart game.

This is the blurb from RTSports who gets their info from KFFL.
Oh, alright, well that is my bad then. Sorry, guys!
and I had this done against me.
Agreed. I grabbed him at the first mention of Felix missing practice. While I may end up starting him, my original thought was just to prevent my opponent from grabbing him (he is currently starting Brandon Lafell at flex, so Morris would be a huge upgrade if Felix ended up being out).'footballnerd said:
Really hope that is the case. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that he's going to have a big game if Felix isn't there to split carries with him.
Didn't look bad last week, Fiametta is healthy, and I think this is a cowboys victory.
It's funny how important Fiametta is for the Cowboys. I liked him in Carolina, but he never really impressed me THAT much, and certainly wasn't at the level that we were used to with Brad Hoover. Obviously he has become a big part of the running game in Dallas, so I'm really happy for him.I agree with you, but I think Philly wins. Personally, I'm just hoping for a shootout, as I own Romo, McCoy, Celek, and maybe Morris in the game.Like I said earlier, if Morris is the top RB in this game with Felix out, I have this odd feeling that he's going to be one of those stories that people talk about in the future when telling their great moments in fantasy football.For those that have more knowledge about Morris than I do, how is he out of the backfield? In a PPR, is he able to contribute some cheap points?
Rotoworld is saying that he will be a GTD.
As expected. Felix Jones makes Ryan Torain look durable.
Crabtree here. I have a bad feeling that if Felix plays and I bench him, he'll end up going off...but the risk is just so great in a championship game, with a team that may not have a lot to play for, and Sammy Morris, who got a lot of carries last week, behind him. With Washington being promoted, I worry that we'll see a three headed monster that produces nothing individually.
