I'm thinking about selling high on Murray. Am I crazy? If so, someone talk me off the ledge.

He had a great game don't get me wrong, but he looked slower than last year to me and doesn't have a burst. If he doesn't look like he has much pop now, in week 1, then what's going to happen once week 10 hits?

He also runs high and constantly looks for contact at the end of runs, which leads to injuries. I love it as a football fan but as a fantasy owner, I'm not crazy about that. I don't know I just think I can get a lot for him now or in the next few weeks and it might be worth it to sell high.

McFadden, Martin, K. Smith and Hillis are my other backs so I have solid depth but need a 2nd WR to pair with Julio.

Step away from the ledge. The Cowboys seem committed to Murray and to ONLY run Murray. Smith is going to be more and more in a time-share as the year goes along and who really knows what you have in Martin, and McFadden is injury prone. Give Murray another couple weeks before you jump to any conclusions.

I like your theory (other than Calvin, I'm betting you could have your pick of WRs in exchange for Murray), but the rest of your RBs are unknowns or huge injury risks. If you go that route, hopefully you have room on your bench to store some handcuffs.

You guys are probably right. Should probably sit on him for a few weeks but if he starts hinting at slowing down just a bit, then I think I'm going to make a move. Just hard to be patient sometimes, but it is probably the right thing to do in this situation.

Nice, glad it makes sense to someone else. Agreed with your roster recommendations if I do go through with it. It's a 12 team league and I have 5 solid backs so there are MANY other teams that are really hurting bad at running back, due to it being so shallow.

Maybe I should let it play out for a week or two and hopefully allow my backups to gain some value to others and/or prove their worth to me. Hopefully my league-mates RB starters get off to bad starts and they panic. I'm pretty much the only guy in the league who would probably consider trading a back.
