A healthy DeMarco Murray has the potential to be highly effective tonight against an Eagles defense that’s on par with the fierce units fielded yesterday throughout America on Pop Warner fields. The problem, of course, is that a healthy Murray is a football species we’ve only really heard about, and he can only be discovered hidden in rocks far beneath the Earth’s crust.
You’re excited that Murray will most likely be active tonight for the Cowboys-Eagles game after he practiced all week, and barring some kind of last-minute strike by the fantasy gods from high above, that still appears to be the case. He’ll play, and he’ll play for the first time since Week 7.
After spending a second-round pick on Murray this year, you’re facing conflicting emotions. Mostly, you’re filled with rage after your top running back missed six games, and he’s only now returning during the final week before the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. For many of you — especially those who whiffed on Felix Jones on the waiver wire — that blow was far too difficult to sustain, and you’re now either out of the playoffs, or desperately reaching. Therefore, Murray is an asshole.
