Rimmytose Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Reports are that Murray could actually play this weekend. Kind of a shock to me with most saying he had a Grade 2 sprain which typically takes 2-4 weeks. If he does play I wonder how effective he will be and surely hope he doesn't re-injure it and make it worse. I'm going to need him to stay healthy if I expect to win anything in one of my leagues.

Endzone Is Near Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Agreed I hope he doesn't re-injure the knee, but I will definitely be benching Miller for him, that's for sure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmytose Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've been using Randle in his absence. Guess I won't have to worry about that now. I'll probably hold Randle through the weekend just to be sure though. I would hate to drop him now just to have to fight for him on the waivers in the event of a Murray setback.

BA Baracus Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 My guess is that Murray is fine. The Cowboys tend to play it pretty safe with injuries, but then again, Jerra is a crazy sumbitch, so there is no telling what the hell is actually going on.

nelsosi Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) He's going to be a scary 'start' in FF. Could easily see a scenario where he starts the game, and exits in the 1st quarter when he tweaks the knee or realizes he's not game ready. If I had decent alternatives, I wouldn't be starting him this week. Edited October 25, 2013 by nelsosi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papajohn Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I am starting him, since I forgot to put Tolbert in my lineup. Stupid Thursday Night Game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had decent alternatives, I wouldn't be starting him this week. But if Lamar Miller was your only other option, you'd start Murray with confidence I hope. There's such a big drop off in production from tier to tier this year that it's pretty much worth it to start a guy like Murray if he's cleared to play.

Stupid Thursday Night Game You really would have started Tolbert over Murray??? Your team must be REALLY good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 You really would have started Tolbert over Murray??? Your team must be REALLY good. It came out wrong, I would have started Tolbert at RB and saved Murray as a flex option when/if he is good to go. Now I am forced to start at least one scrub from the waiver at flex (a scrub far worse than Tolbert I am (and was) assuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Let me put it another way....if you start Murray over another reasonably viable option, you better not come back whining if he goes out after 3 touches - you know what the risk is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk of a very productive Murray thus far vs a complete hit or miss bye week fill in caliber player....hmmm. Pretty sure I'll take the risk/reward upside of Murray.

heehawks Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 With the Murray news of close to playing, just dropped Randle in my local for a flyer on Andre Brown. Hope it wasn't a mistake. But probably a good move for later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightbug Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The other problem from a FF perspective is how it affects Randle who was a pretty good option this weekend. Earlier reports had Dallas management saying that Randle gave them the confidence to not rush Murray back and make sure he was fully recovered.

darin3 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) I'm juggling either starting Murray or bringing Randle up from DTS and starting him. I think I'll roll the dice on Murray since (crossing fingers) my matchup this week isn't too scary.
