4. Joseph Randle

Randle took over for Demarco Murray after his departure to the Eagles.  Randle has clearly took the reigns of the starting job. He looks like he is the premiere back and he will get a majority of the Cowboys balls in the backfield. You still have to be weary of how much Lance Dunbar and Darren McFadden have played. Yesterday Randle carried the ball just 14 times however he had over 80 rushing yards. He also had three rushing touchdowns.

Randle has had carries of 16, 18, and 14 yards. As long as Randle has 14-20 carries he will be viewed as the starting back. Randle has a 65 yard game, 51 yard game and an 87 yard rush game. The numbers are not over powering. With Tony Romo and Dez Bryant out the Cowboys will lean on the run game. The thing I am surprised by so far is that the Cowboys have used Randle as the primary back. I thought you would see more of a comity with McFadden and Dunbar. If Randle continues to get the bulk of the carries you have to love him going forward especially with that offensive line.
