This isn’t an official update just yet, but Rapoport has certainly built up his credibility over the years. Murray does have a major injury history and he’s still not totally out of the woods for Week 3 against the New York Jets.
This week is basically the stoppable force against the immovable object. Murray has just 11 rushing yards on 21 carries while the Jets are coming off shutting down Andrew Luck on Monday Night Football.
Fantasy impact: His fantasy owners are going to have to check back over the weekend for an update on Murray. However, he’s not even close to a must-start play in standard leagues, in a bad matchup and as the current leader for “bust of the year.” Pick up running back Ryan Mathews right now.
