Murray (ankle) carried 19 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's game against the Panthers. He also caught three of four targets for an additional 43 yards in the 35-32 win.
Murray generated a long gain of just seven yards on the ground, but another strong receiving game and his ninth rushing score of the season salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective. He received his highest total of touches in 2016 as rookie DeAndre Washington was inactive for the first time, leaving just Murray and Jalen Richard as the active tailbacks. Despite his inefficiency, Murray is clearly the lead dog in the backfield, with his red-zone usage and receiving skills keeping him among the more useful running fantasy backs in the game.
