McFadden rushed for 32 yards on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. He added 26 yards receiving on three catches.
Sunday represented McFadden's lightest workload in terms of both yards and touches since taking over the lion's share of carries in Week 7. The veteran back saw few holes to squeeze through, his game-long run of seven yards tying a season low. McFadden holds a lot of value as the bell-cow back behind an elite offensive line. It just may take a few weeks for the Cowboys' passing game to stretch defenses enough to give McFadden more space at the line of scrimmage.
