Murray's role has certainly settled into a tight zone this season -- he's had nine or 10 carries in each of the past three weeks while playing a modest role in the offense behind starter James Cook. Veteran Ty Johnson is also starting to see action in the backfield, as Johnson had a touchdown catch in Week 11 and carried six times for 19 yards in the Week 12 loss. Murray has been a blessing to the Bills, but he's simply a bit player in an offense that has plenty of other guys that can score touchdowns. He has found the end zone three times this season, but only once since Week 3.

Murray's role has certainly settled into a tight zone this season -- he's had nine or 10 carries in each of the past three weeks while playing a modest role in the offense behind starter James Cook. Veteran Ty Johnson is also starting to see action in the backfield, as Johnson had a touchdown catch in Week 11 and carried six times for 19 yards in the Week 12 loss. Murray has been a blessing to the Bills, but he's simply a bit player in an offense that has plenty of other guys that can score touchdowns. He has found the end zone three times this season, but only once since Week 3.
The touchdown was Murray's first since Week 3, while the rushing yardage was a season high. Murray was the beneficiary of teammate James Cook's sudden fumbling issues Monday, and the 33-year-old Murray ran aggressively while bringing energy to an offense that had been stagnant prior to most of his carries, all while Cook stood on the sideline in the doghouse. Cook redeemed himself later in the game and finished with 109 rushing yards, but the performance by Murray was probably enough to keep him comfortably in the No. 2 seat while Damien Harris remains on IR (concussion) and Leonard Fournette remains on the practice squad.
Murray actually had two good cracks to score a touchdown, but he was stopped both times inside the five-yard line and his night ended as a fantasy dud. Murray has seen a slight rise in carries following a neck injury to teammate Damien Harris (neck), as he's had three of his season's top four offensive snap shares in the last three games. With the Bills having so many weapons on offense, the 33-year-old Murray remains mostly a touchdown-dependent option, and he hasn't found the end zone since Week 3.
