His dreadful play is keeping him out of the top 12. Murray is the QB28 by EPA per dropback. His rushing should be a massive boost to the fantasy output, but he's averaging a pedestrian 26.4 yards per game on the ground. That is the lowest mark of his career. Kevin O'Connell has called one designed run for Murray all year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Murray's dreadful passing and minimal rushing usage make him a QB1 fade.

Murray is a sit in Week 8 against Detroit despite a normally favorable matchup. He ranks QB28 by EPA per dropback and his rushing upside is severely limited. Murray is averaging just 26.4 yards per game on the ground, the lowest mark of his career. Kevin O'Connell has called only one designed run for Murray all year, showing no interest in utilizing his legs, which tanks his fantasy potential.
