Fantasy impact: It is obvious that Murray’s days as a top-flight running back are over. He’s yet to see more than 14 carries in a game this season and has crossed 58 rushing yards just once.
It was only a matter of time before Murray was going to have to pass the torch to a younger back and it looks like that’s slowly happening now.
He’s still worth starting in deeper leagues, but as the season goes on Murray will likely prove to be a touchdown-dependent talent and the third or fourth running back on your fantasy team.
Facing off against Cleveland in Week 7 isn’t exactly a tasty matchup. Sitting Murray this time around isn’t the worst idea in the world.
Recommendation: Sit
