Fantasy Football: Marion Barber III Start/Sit

From Will Carroll's Black and Blue Report:

"The churning legs necessary for acceleration and power running are precisely what is strained here, forcing Barber to the sidelines for at least a week. Barber hasn't been a quick healer in the past, so we'll have to keep a close eye on this one for signs that he'll be ready to produce. The Cowboys aren't ruling him out, but given their solid options in Tashard Choice and Felix Jones, resting him in Week 3 makes sense."

This sums up where fantasy footballers are stuck. Dallas Cowboys' RB Marion Barber has a quad injury but seems determined to play, but expert opinion leans towards sitting him given the team's excellent alternatives regardless of reports out of camp.

I went 15% of my FAAB to add Tashard Choice and drop Peyton Hillis on the chance Barber is out, and we have definitive information that Barber will not play.
