Spin-juries: Down Goes Barber

One big injury this week:

Injury: Marion Barber, RB, DAL - He was off to the races Sunday night, on his way to scoring his second TD of the night when everything turned to suck. He keeled over, untouched by a defender, and grabbed his leg. This wasn't pretty.

Spin: Barber will likely miss 1-2 weeks as a result of a quad strain. It's bad news for his owners, unless they managed to secure Felix Jones and/or Tashard Choice as his backup. If Jones can get 15-20 carries, he's practically a must-start, as he's a threat to score any time he touches the ball. The worse news for Barber owners is that Jones has a really good chance to excel while Barber's out. That means more carries for Jones, even when Barber returns.
