The local guys typically know best. You can ignore most of this article, just do a search for Michael to get to the relevant part. Some of the quotes are very interesting, specifically: " I think Michael does play and he could instantly get most of the carries. Pure speculation, but the Cowboys look to be serious about turning over every rock to try to find the right combination to get the offense going. " and... " I am not sure how the snaps will be divided, but it might be quite a bit for Christine if it works early."

Actually, I agree. It was a huge game for Michael. -Dunbar hurt -Randle 11 carries, 26 yards -McFadden 10 carries, 31 yards The idea of adding Michael was a long-term high-upside flier. Michael now a must-add prospect. One RB ahead of him hurt, the other two underperforming. The rumor was they had only one package for Michael put in for this game. After the backs ahead of him failed, I think they really give him a long look this week. Don't you?
Haven't heard an update today yet. The fear is that he has an injury like Scandrick's. A torn ACL AND a torn MCL. That would mean he was out for the year. Talk to the Bears about Forte?
I don't know, but with Randle in the doghouse and Dunbar out for the year, maybe this Christine guy will step up. No way McFadden goes the full season without getting hurt.
Following up. You're welcome if you added him... http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-o...ys-to-make-changes-at-qb-rb-lg-after-bye-week
He was available in all my three leagues...what the hell, I'm 1-4 in all of them, anyway...I just took him in all three.
Hahah, if you're 1-6 it's not from holding onto Michael. I have him in 3 leagues, I'm 3-4 in one and winning record in both the other two. I WILL say this: what McFadden did last week is what I expected Michael to do if/when Randle went down or lost the gig. With his legal troubles, I expect Randle to be out of the picture for good... and we all know McFadden's injury history. Where I have him, as long as I don't need the roster spot, I'm keeping Michael. Names I would drop Michael for: Orleans Darkwa Jordan Reed (how is he available in 50% of leagues??) Antonio Andrews (if I needed a starter this week - but not rest of season) David Cobb (if I wanted rest of season upside) Names I would not drop Michael for: Ahmad Bradshaw Reggie Bush Chris Polk
...aaaaannnd Michael was dropped today. They never gave him an opportunity to succeed. Very disappointing. So who's next up behind Run DMC? Why that would be Rod Smith...
It doesn't matter at this point. Romo is back, the Cowboys are on desperation mode...expect 60 passes thrown per game...
