DeMarco Murray wants more touches

Oct 05, 2015

Philadelphia lost a tough game to Washington on Sunday 23-20, and Eagles running back DeMarco Murray doesn’t understand why he wasn’t more involved.

Murray had 8 rushes for 36 yards in the game. Through three games this season, he has 47 yards rushing on 29 carries.

After the game, he spoke out: “Do I think I’m touching the ball [enough]?” he said. “No, I’m not. I don’t think I am. But it’s the plays that are being called. I love this offense. I love playing with these guys. It’s just how it is.”

Fantasy Impact:

It should be pointed out that Murray isn’t losing many touches to other running backs. The Eagles just didn’t run the ball much on Sunday. The team’s other running back, Ryan Mathews, only had 4 carries for 16 yards. The Eagles offense is a bit of a mess right now and Murray isn't a safe play as a result.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
