TEN RB DeMarco Murray - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Oakland Raiders

DeMarco Murray ripped up the Oakland Raiders defense to the tune of 116 yards and a touchdown on just 16 carries last season. He also had 5 catches for 41 yards in that game. There's no reason to think he can't have similar success against the Raiders this time around. The Titans might be a little more wide open this season than they were last, but they'll still rely on a very solid running game keyed by Murray. He should be a solid No. 1 running back start this week.

TEN RB DeMarco Murray - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

DeMarco Murray bounced back from a forgettable year in Philadelphia to put up 1,287 yards and nine scores on the ground, while also hauling in 53 passes for 377 yards and three touchdowns in his first season as a Titan. He finished tied for third with David Johnson in rushing attempts last season with 293, totaling nearly 350 touches.

Fantasy Downside

Second-year back Derrick Henry lurks in the shadows. He already stole some carries from Murray down the stretch last season, averaging nearly three more rush attempts per game during the second half of the season. The Titans also added a bevy of pass catchers in an attempt to bump up their passing game.

2017 Bottom Line

Murray plays behind a good offensive line in a system that loves to run the ball. Even if he shares some time with Henry, he should still get 300-plus overall touches this season. Murray is a workhorse running back who also catches the ball well - he's averaged 51.8 receptions over the past four seasons. His current ADP places him right outside the first round, which means you're going to draft him as a lower-end RB1 or very high-end RB2. Neither is a bad option.

TEN RB DeMarco Murray - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Houston
Murray had just 42 yards on 14 carries last week as Tennessee's offense disappeared against the Jaguars. He also had just two receptions for 18 yards, giving him just 16 touches, his fewest of the season. Murray had a line of 25-95-2 rushing the first time around against the Texans and the Titans figure to be run-heavy to protect Matt Cassel in this game. Trouble is that the Titans could use this game as a tryout for Derrick Henry next season, as well. Murray should produce enough, even against stacked boxes, to be a very solid No. 2 back.

TEN RB DeMarco Murray - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Jacksonville
Murray was solid again last week, rushing for 89 yards on 18 carries, while also catching five passes for 52 yards. He had a season-high 123 rushing yards and a TD back in Week 8 against Jacksonville and the Titans will continue their game plan of riding their running game. Murray should get his usual 25 or so touches this week, which makes him a RB1 based on both production and touches.

TEN RB DeMarco Murray - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Kansas City
Murray had 21 carries for 92 yards and a score last week but did not catch a pass for just the second time this season. Murray should find some running lanes again this week as the Chiefs have given up 101 yards rushing per game to opposing running backs. Yes, he's losing a handful of carries to Derrick Henry, but Murray remains the bell horse. He should be a solid start this week.

TEN RB DeMarco Murray - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Denver
The week off should have given Murray's nagging toe injury some time to heal up and that's good news for a guy who's averaged nearly 23 touches per game. While Denver's pass defense is tough, the run defense is definitely vulnerable as its 21st ranking against opposing backs would suggest. The Titans are as good as nearly anyone running the ball and they'll pound away with Murray and Derrick Henry in this one. Murray should be a solid RB No. 1 start.

TEN RB DeMarco Murray - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Chicago
Murray had 21 carries for 70 yards in one of his least productive days of the season. But he also scored and had three catches for nine yards in the passing game, giving him another solid game. His toe injury continues to be a concern, but he's playing through the injury despite missing some practice time. The Bears have given up seven rushing TDs to running backs but have been solid overall against the run. Murray, however, does enough in the passing game to remain a solid RB 1 option.
