The league's reigning rushing champ told reporters on Thursday he feels "stronger than I've ever felt and I feel faster than I've ever felt." (philadelphiaeagles.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Coming off a 497-touch season including playoffs, Murray won't be asked to take on that kind of workload again with Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles also in the Eagles backfield mix. Murray also noted the number of playmakers in the passing game will make it tough for defenses to key in on one guy. While optimism tends to run high this time of year, there are plenty of snaps to go around in Chip Kelly's up-tempo, run-heavy offense and Murray is in his prime at age 27. Still, there are also plenty of questions facing the Eagles offense with so many new pieces, and history has not been kind to RBs coming off the type of workload Murray just logged.
