Darren McFadden has absorbed Lance Dunbar's role as the pass-catching back in addition to maintaining his handful of carries for the Cowboys. The result was 78 yards on five carries and nine receptions.
All of the sudden, McFadden is a tantalizing option in PPR leagues. His role and productivity is only likely to increase as the Cowboys face easier opponents than New England.
Joseph Randle remains the starter in Dallas for now, but couldn't get much going against a tough Patriots defense. He accounted for only 60 yards on 15 carries with no scores. Christine Michael had one carry for six yards, but is expected to get more work moving forward. With a big game, he could surpass anyone on the depth chart. The Cowboys will have a Week 6 BYE, and it'll be interesting to see how this situation plays out when they are back on the field.
