Description: Running back Felix Jones signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. | Insight: Barring an injury to starter LeSean McCoy, Jones and Bryce Brown figure to have a limited upside for the upcoming season.

Description: Cowboys running back Felix Jones (knees) is not at Wednesday's practice. | Insight: Jones is making a habit of not practicing, but playing in games. The real question is whether DeMarco Murray returns to the field. If Murray plays, Jones' fantasy value takes a huge hit. If Murray sits again Jones has solid value - he's posted double-digits in his last four starts. | | |

Description: Cowboys halfback Felix Jones (knees) is active Thursday against the Redskins. DeMarco Murray (foot) is out again. | Insight: Jones is likely to lead a committee that also includes Lance Dunbar and Phillip Tanner. Jones has found the end zone in two straight weeks and he'll need to do so again in order to have value in Week 11. We'd stay away from Dallas' RB situation until Murray returns. | | |

Source: ESPN Dallas | Insight: Jones timetable was 2-4 weeks back on the 16th, so he's entering his third week.
