Well, guess the Dallas Cowboys didn't miss starting running back Felix Jones very much Sunday after all.

Rookie running back DeMarco Murray, a popular fantasy addition over the past week -- though he still came into the day owned in less than one-third of ESPN standard leagues -- exploded for 253 rushing yards on the pathetic St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Murray started the proceedings nicely with a 91-yard touchdown jaunt on his first carry, and after that, let's just say nobody was interested in seeing what fellow backup running back Tashard Choice was capable of.


To see Eric Karabell's thoughts on DeMarco Murray, Tim Tebow, Antion Gates and others, you must be an ESPN Insider.
