DeMarco Murray, RB

DeMarco Murray slowed down a bit as Derrick Henry took more of the spotlight for the Titans in 2017, but still managed to score six touchdowns on the ground and another as a receiver.

He caught 39 passes this past season, and at the very worst, is still effective as a third down back who can make plays in the passing game.

Though running backs are typically on the downside of their career at the age of 30, Murray is the type of veteran back that can come in and provide a team with a very smart player at the position, a very versatile player at the position, and someone whose physical condition does not appear to be an issue at all

Murray oddly seems to be more effective the more he’s used, so perhaps a team that loses its starter or key depth at the position will look to him to come in and eat up carries.
