Murray wants to carry the load in 2014

Murray is on pace for 396 carries this season and has no problem with 400+ carries. (Fox Sports)
Fantasy Impact:
Murray has never carried the ball more than 217 times in his NFL career and no NFL back has carried the ball 400 times since Larry Johnson in 2006, but Murray is willing to change that. Murray ran the ball 282 times during his senior season at Oklahoma, but the NFL is a lot different than college football and maintaining 27 touches per game is going to be rough for Murray. If Murray is able to maintain his pace and production then he will have one of the greatest fantasy football seasons in history, as he is on pace for 320 points in standard leagues and 358 points in PPR leagues. As I have cautioned before, Murray's workload is huge for fantasy owners and needs to be closely monitored.
