Louis Murphy- Week 1 vs. Tennessee
If Mike Evans (hamstring) plays, Louis Murphy isn't worth a serious option. However, if Evans sits, Murphy suddenly becomes an intriguing flex play. Keep an eye of Evans' health if you're considering playing Murphy.
Louis Murphy - Week 15 vs. Carolina Panthers
Louis Murphy has had a few big games this season, but overall is not reliable. He's not a strong option this week.
Louis Murphy - Week 14 vs. Detroit
A week after catching six balls for 113 yards Louis Murphy came crashing back down to Earth. He finished with just one catch for seven yards last week. He's not a reliable option in fantasy.
Louis Murphy - Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Louis Murphy came out of nowhere and finished with a 100-yard performance in Week 12. It was a season best for him, topping his 99-yard outing in Week 4. We wouldn't look too much into Murphy's performance, however. He hadn't even finished with 15 yards since Week 6. He's not a reliable option moving forward.
Louis Murphy - Week 9 vs. Cleveland
The Louis Murphy hype has died down a lot. Murphy had three consecutive good outings until last week. In a tough matchup he caught two balls for just 11 yards. Murphy isn't a strong option, but he has the potential to have a decent game on any given week. He should be used as a WR5.
Louis Murphy - Week 8 vs. Minnesota
Louis Murphy only became relevant for the Bucs when Mike Glennon took over as the starting quarterback. In the three games with the Glen, Murphy has performed exceptionally well. His first game he caught six passes for 99 yards. In the next two games he was able to catch a touchdown.
It's unclear if he can continue this success with guys like Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans in the lineup. That's why he should be seen as only a WR4 option.
Louis Murphy - Week 6 vs. Baltimore
With Mike Evans out of the lineup in Week 5 Louis Murphy saw an increase in playing time. He played on 89 percent of the team's offensive snaps and caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown.
The bad news for Murphy is Evans could make a return this week. If he does return, Murphy's role could be limited. He should be used as a WR4 either way.
Louis Murphy - Week 5 vs. New Orleans
Louis Murphy was the biggest beneficiary after Mike Evans left the game. He came up with a huge 41-yard catch in the fourth quarter during the team's game-winning drive. He had a healthy 11 targets and finished with 99 yards on six receptions.
Murphy will continue to be involved in the offense this week with Evans sidelined for a couple of games. He gets to play in a favorable matchup against the Saints and could be a quiet contributor. He should be used as a WR4.
