The Dallas Cowboys stars will take to the air in 2015 with an uncertain backfield situation in DeMarco Murray’s wake. Jason Witten, Tony Romo and Dez Bryant will threaten defenses deep and through the middle, allowing lesser running backs to carry some fantasy value behind the league’s best offensive line.
Scott Linehan officially takes over as Dallas’ offensive coordinator after he split duties with Bill Callahan in 2014. Linehan’s reputation as a pass-first coordinator didn’t materialize in the Cowboys’ balanced approach.
The offense finished fifth in scoring and seventh in yards—sixth in standard-fantasy scoring—in Linehan’s first season as play-caller. Dallas’ best players flourished because Linehan believes in focusing on the greatest talent regardless of scheme, according to ESPN.com's Jean-Jacques Taylor.
"You call plays that are very familiar to the players, plays you feel comfortable about and plays they have a lot of history with, and trust that Tony will find the guy who has the best matchup," Linehan said.
The running game should take a step back, since no single backup is capable of filling Murray’s shoes. However, fantasy owners can expect Dallas’ starters in the passing game to enjoy a more productive outlook in 2015 as a result.
Players are shown in ascending order from least to most valuable from a fantasy perspective in 2015.
