Papa Deuce Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I have him in my main league. I'm a die hard Eagles fan. From a fantasy perspective, I'm a bit worried. I might even trade him if I can, as I am loaded at RB. My guess is he loses about 400 yards and 4 TD's from last year's total. But, I don't know who I would keep. In a league where we draft 6 RB, I also have Peterson and Anderson. Peterson seems like an enigma to me this season..... part of me thinks he will be a beast, but part of me looks at his age / injuries. But as far as Murray goes, I am just worried about him slpitting time with 2 other backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Murray's stats will surely dip as he'll definitely be losing touches. I think AP could finish as the top overall RB and Anderson should be studly. I believe both AP and Anderson finish better than Murray on the season.

Dolphin_Akie Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I think Murray will still be decent in Philly but he's clearly not going to live up to last year because he won't have the huge volume and the O-line in front of him probably won't be as dominant. Doesn't mean he can't be a top 10 RB, especially if Ryan Mathews continues to be injury prone, but its just unlikely he ends up back at #1.

SoxBandit Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 How many RBs have been the #1 fantasy RB in consecutive years? I would guess the number is exceptionally low, and you might be able to count them on one hand going back 20 years (AP perhaps, maybe Holmes, maybe Terrell Davis). Murray will probably be another that has a tough time repeating a phenomenal year, though I would have said that even if he was still a Cowboy. But I don't expect a huge jaw-dropping decline, either. 1600 combined/12 TDs would be my guess, which should put him in top-6 territory.

But I don't expect a huge jaw-dropping decline, either. 1600 combined/12 TDs would be my guess, which should put him in top-6 territory. Yeah, I'd go about 1,500 total yards and 10 TDs with about 30-35 receptions. Top 10 at the RB position but with some taking WRs in round 1, Murray could fall out of round 1, after finishing as the #2 RB. So to fall out of round 1 or not be taken in the 1st half of round 1 the following season, after finishing as the #2 RB, that's rare.

loaf Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I highly doubt he falls out of the 1st Round. There's always those Owners that fall in love with last year's stats. I'm not worried about him, just don't have as high of expectations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I've done many RTS drafts this spring (40 plus) and so far Murray is consistently falling to the middle to late 2nd round in 10 and 12 man money drafts. I don't think I've seen him go in the first round once. Not once. Most people are saying in the chats during the draft that they are concerned with Mathews and Sproles drastically cutting into his work load. I have been able to pick him up as my second RB many times and paired him with guys like Forte and Charles. My guess is his ADP will likely rise sometime during late training camp and early preseason. Edited June 23, 2015 by heehawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Murray is the model of health but the guy fits Chip Kelly's system perfectly and will be the bellcow in that offense. Saying a Smurf and a guy who spends more time on the trainer's table than on the field are going to significantly cut into Murray's value is just asinine at this point.

Nolly Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm worried about Chip Kelly more so than Murray, as it seems Kelly only owns pencils and a very large eraser. If Murray doesn't meet the expectations that Kelly has invisioned, will he do to him (during the season) as he has done to so many others this off season? It's probably unlikely this would happen, but Kelly has shown us that no ones job is safe and anything is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timozbuck Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 His price will be too high for me. I'm concerned with the crowded backfield but REALLY concerned with the number of touches he had last year(449). History shows those guys break down the next season. And it ain't like DeMarco hasn't had injury issues in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually not dumb and will happen. If you think Sproles isn't going to catch passes and that Mathews won't take some carries, you're crazy. That decreases Murray's value from this past season, which is why he's falling into the 2nd round versus getting the respect of a guy who finished with numbers that would demand a top 5 pick the following year.

Doesn't mean he can't be a top 10 RB, especially if Ryan Mathews continues to be injury prone, but its just unlikely he ends up back at #1. Depends on your league scoring. If he gets a lot of passes he could be as good, we get 1.5 PPR in the league where I have him. Don't forget Philly's extra plays they run too.

ReturnToSender Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Like a late round Sproles pick much better than a higher pick on Demarco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I'd like to revive this thread. For people drafting lately, where has he been landing? I know it is preseason but after watching the beginning of the Eagles game on Saturday it does seem pretty clear that Mathews and Sproles will take a lot of touches as long as they are healthy Edited August 25, 2015 by Finn5033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard1233 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I took matthews because I don't think murray is gonna make it in philly. No reason just my gut feeling. I think he may wear down or get injured or just not be as good cuz he just got paid but I have a feeling we will see a lot of matthews.

Papa Deuce Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Well, since I am the OP, I must say that my thoughts on Murray are even worse now than before. I'm thinking his total touches drop by 100 - 110 this year. Could be 120+, even. That could be a good thing, I guess, but when I have seen Murray play, he seems to get better as the game progresses. I can see Kelly pulling him earlier in games than I would like to see, just to keep him healthy. He's already said he has concerns about keeping him healthy.

tazinib1 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If you have 3 talented, but injury-prone players, at least 1 or 2 will be healthy at all times. Unless you're a Cowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
