85 scrimmage yards against Falcons Murray registered 49 rushing yards on 12 carries, catching both of his targets for 36 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 win against the Falcons.
Impact Murray was just one carry behind Alvin Kamara's total of 13, though it was Kamara who had the lone RB rushing touchdown for New Orleans in Week 11. A 25-yard reception boosted Murray's day, but it's notable that first-time starting quarterback Taysom Hill had two separate rushing TDs from inside the 10-yard line. Hill's ability to punch the ball in from short yardage has potential to mitigate Murray's goal-line contributions in coming weeks. Nevertheless, Murray has still garnered double-digit touches in seven of his past eight games heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Broncos.

Leads team in rushing Murray carried nine times for 57 yards during Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers.
Impact Murray averaged a healthy 6.3 yards per carry as he came through with his second-best output of the season. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara managed just 15 yards on eight totes but managed a pair of short rushing touchdowns and another via the pass. Murray has received at least eight carries in eight of nine games this season and could take on a larger role if the team leans more on the running game in the event that Drew Brees (ribs) is forced to miss time. His next chance to step up will come Sunday against the Falcons.

Leads backfield in carries Murray rushed 10 times for 39 yards and caught both of his targets for three yards in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact Murray led the backfield in carries Sunday, though he wasn't able to get much going and totaled just 42 scoreless yards on the day. He remains involved in the offense as a change-of-pace back behind Alvin Kamara, though Murray's fantasy value is minimal if he's not finding the end zone.

Season-low 31 yards Murray carried eight times for 17 yards and caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in the Saints' 26-23 OT win over the Bears on Sunday.
Impact Murray's 31 yards were a season low, though his three receptions were a season high. His yardage totals have capped out at 83 yards on the year, and he'll likely have a difficult time getting much done against a stout Buccaneers defensive front in Week 9.

Logs 11 touches in Week 7 victory Murray rushed 11 times for 47 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact Murray saw just three fewer carries than Alvin Kamara and played his usual role as chain-mover and change-of-pace back, while getting stuffed on a goal-line carry in the process. Due to his lack of involvement in the passing game, Murray is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option who offers some flex appeal in the right matchup.

Gets 10 touches Murray rushed eight times for 34 yards and caught both his targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 30-27 overtime win against the Chargers.
Impact Murray again helped New Orleans move the sticks, with Monday marking his fourth straight game with an average of more than 4.0 yards per carry. For good measure, the tailback also turned in a season high in receiving yards. Although he couldn't follow his two-touchdown performance in Week 4, Murray still topped 50 scrimmage yards for the third game in a row, bringing him into the Saints' bye week on the back of some decent success.
