Week 17: Murray vs Redskins
Despite the hand injury, DeMarco Murray still carried the ball 22 times and scored a touchdown last week. He only played 50% of the snaps, so we could see Joseph Randle get some more playing time again this week, especially if the Cowboys get a big lead.
Murray had one of his best game of the season against the Redskins back in October. Washington is 14th in aFPA to running backs so overall the matchup is pretty good for him. The problem is usage. Between the hand injury, the Cowboys not having much to play for and an illness that kept him out of practice, Murray likely won't see enough touches to make the impact that we are used to. However, he still has value. Start him as a low-end RB1 as we think he will still get 15 or so touches on Sunday.
