DeMarco Murray won't be suiting up in Week 3. Murray suffered a hamstring injury in practice on Wednesday. After several days of optimism leading up to Sunday's game, Murray surprisingly made it onto the Philadelphia Eagle's inactive list on Sunday. Murray will have to wait until Week 4 to redeem himself from his dismal Week 2 performance, when he finished with 13 carries for 2 yards. Ryan Mathews is expected to lead the backfield on Sunday. Darren Sproles figures to see an increase in snaps as well.

Fantasy impact: Murray's disappointing start to the season remains preserved for another week for fantasy owners. In the meantime, both Mathews and Sproles have FLEX appeal in all formats. Sproles gets a boost in PPR leagues. While Mathews will likely see more carries with Murray sidelined, it's important to remember that the Eagles had just 15 carries between all of their running backs in Week 2.
