Quick fantasy outlook: What a difference a year makes. As a rookie, Murray amassed 164 carries in part-time work but exited the season with expectations of greatness and a feature back role in 2012. His injuries were considered minor and his talents unparalleled in Dallas. But things didn't go according to plan in 2012 and Murray once again tallied just 161 carries. This time, however, the questions lingered as Murray's yards per rush fell from 5.5 as a rookie to 4.1 and his fumbles tripled. Murray appeared in only 10 games last year after being sidelined for six weeks with a foot injury, but his durability issues will not be held against him entering 2013. In fact, the Cowboys let Felix Jones walk and have added no legitimate competition for touches - in other words, Murray could be a workhorse if he can shed the injury-prone label. Murray has the skill set to produce in any game situation. He's strong at the point of attack, runs well in tight quarters, and has the breakaway speed to bust long plays. He's also a polished route runner and serves as more than an emergency outlet in the passing game. Assuming Murray can stay on the field, he's capable of re-emerging as one of the NFL's top young bell cows.
