Tashard Choice, RB DAL
News: The Cowboys waived RB Tashard Choice on Saturday to clear a roster spot for LB Bruce Carter, according to ESPNDallas.com. Choice played in all six games for Dallas this season and amassed just 75 rushing yards. He failed to reach 40 yards in any game and finished with single-digits in four outings as he stumbled to a lowly 2.7 yards per carry. Choice has also been dealing with a shoulder injury that kept him out of practice Friday.
Analysis: Choice was likely deemed expendable after rookie DeMarco Murray's breakout performance in Week 7 against St. Louis. Murray rushed for a team-record 253 yards versus the Rams while Choice managed two carries for eight yards before suffering a shoulder injury. He also lost a fumble for the second game in a row. The Cowboys are still missing starting RB Felix Jones to an injury, but he could return to the lineup soon, which would have limited Choice's attempts. Fantasy owners should keep keep an eye on where Choice lands.

He had a couple of good games when given the opportunity to be the main ball carrier in his rookie season.
