  49ers | Louis Murphy joins San Francisco     Mon Nov 6, 02:30 PM

Free-agent WR Louis Murphy (Buccaneers) was signed by the San Francisco 49ers Monday, Nov. 6. Details of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: With Pierre Garcon (neck) out for the year, the 49ers needed help at the position. Murphy may work in as a return man, but we don't see him having any fantasy value as a pass catcher on offense.

  49ers | San Francisco cuts seven players    Fri Sep 1, 05:41 PM

San Francisco 49ers QB Matt Barkley, RB Tim Hightower and WR Louis Murphy were released Friday, Sept. 1. The team also waived RB Kapri Bibbs, FB Tyler McCloskey, WR Tim Patrick and PK Nick Rose.

Footballguys view: Rookie UDFA Matt Breida appears to be the backup to Carlos Hyde in the 49ers backfield. Hyde hasn't been the most durable over the course of his career, so file Breida's name away, as he appears to be ahead of fourth-round pick Joe Williams.

  Buccaneers | Louis Murphy begins practicing    Mon Oct 17, 10:17 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy (knee) has begun practicing Monday, Oct. 17. Murphy is on the Reserve/Injured list and has a 21-day window to practice before he must be placed on the 53-man roster.

Footballguys view: Murphy is a speedy receiver who could help stretch the field if he's able to return. Even if he gets back on the field, Murphy has virtually no fantasy value.

  Buccaneers | Louis Murphy woke up in museum     Wed Jul 6, 03:42 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy woke up Saturday, July 2, in a museum after attending a friend's wedding there the night before. Murphy said he had been drinking, went to the museum's courtyard and fell asleep on the stairs. The receiver broke the glass on one of the doors after being locked out and called a friend. Murphy and the museum manager agreed to work out the $1,000 in damages. Murphy was not charged with a crime.

Footballguys view: Somehow Ben Stiller is going to spin off his Night at the Museum movie series to include this story. Even Denard Robinson waking up in a retention pond--in his car--is not as crazy as this story.

  Buccaneers | Torn ACL likely for Louis Murphy    Mon Oct 26, 03:13 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the season with what the Buccaneers believe is a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Footballguys view: With Murphy out, we saw Donteea Dye do a little more in Week 7. Fantasy owners in re-draft leagues aren't rushing to pick up Dye, but dynasty owners should be monitoring his progress.

  Buccaneers | Louis Murphy could receive start    Sat Sep 12, 12:23 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy could start against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1 if WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is not able to play.

Footballguys view: Fantasy owners need to find a better option if they can. Evans has struggled with this hamstring injury in recent weeks, and if he doesn't play it could lead to a big game for Vincent Jackson.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy (ankle) is not participating in practice Sunday, Aug. 9, and has been sidelined for the entire camp so far because of an ankle injury. There is no timetable for his return.

Footballguys view: Second-year speedster Robert Herron and rookie Kenny Bell are better bets to make the team with this news. Either one could have fantasy relevance if one of Vincent Jackson or Mike Evans goes down and they have secured the #3 job.

  Buccaneers | Louis Murphy to start    Sat Oct 4, 08:27 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy will start in Week 5 in place of injured WR Mike Evans (groin).

Footballguys view: Murphy could be a sneaky WR5/flex play at wide receiver but he isn't going to be the same player that Evans was. Glennon needs help besides Vincent Jackson though, so it's worth a hail mary.

  Buccaneers | Louis Murphy emerges in Week 4    Mon Sep 29, 12:49 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Louis Murphy had six catches for 99 yards receiving in the team's Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Murphy entered the lineup with WR Mike Evans (groin) dealing with a groin injury in the third quarter. In the preseason, Murphy had most of his repetitions with QB Mike Glennon, who is now starting.

Footballguys view: This often happens when a young quarterback takes over (see Jarius Wright and Teddy Bridgewater). Working with the second team offense in practice, Glennon and Murphy established good chemistry and that carried over to the field against the Steelers. We'll see if they can maintain that chemistry in the coming weeks, especially with rookie wide receiver Mike Evans banged up.

  Buccaneers | Mike Evans out 2-3 weeks    Mon Sep 29, 11:50 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (groin) will reportedly miss two or three weeks with a strained groin.

Footballguys view: Bad news for the rookie wide receiver here. He was showing great chemistry with quarterback Mike Glennon in the game against the Steelers in Week 3. With Evans out, the team will turn to guys like Louis Murphy or Russell Shepard to pick up the slack. Vincent Jackson should be more heavily targeted going forward as well.

  Buccaneers | Three to compete for No. 3 wide receiver job    Wed Jul 23, 05:52 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Robert Herron, WR Louis Murphy and WR Chris Owusu will all compete for the No. 3 WR job, according to general manager Jason Licht.

Footballguys view: Murphy has the experience edge here, but we can't wait to see rookie Robert Herron. The speedy prospect from Wyoming has multiple moves to get free at the line of scrimmage. Once into his route, Herron can make cuts at speed without losing momentum. He's a dangerous weapon with the ball in his hands.

  Buccaneers | Wide receiver corps slowly taking shape    Mon Jul 7, 10:06 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson and WR Mike Evans are expected to open the year as the starters, and WR Robert Herron, WR Chris Owusu and WR Louis Murphy are the frontrunners for the remaining spots, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Smith also tabbed WR David Gettis as a player that could surprise and make the 53-man roster.

Footballguys view: The Bucs addressed the massive hole at their #2 WR spot after trading away Mike Williams, but they are still very thin at the position after that. The tight end should play a nice-sized role in the passing game, which means that Brandon Myers or rookie Austin Seferian-Jenkins could be good waiver pickups early in the season if they pan out.

  Buccaneers | Chris Owusu, Louis Murphy battling for No. 3 job    Fri Jun 20, 04:22 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WRs Chris Owusu and Louis Murphy have looked good in the team's offseason workouts as they battle for the No. 3 wide receiver job. The team also has high hopes for WR Robert Herron.

Footballguys view: Herron may be the player to watch here. His near 4.2 speed will come in handy before and after the catch. Herron also has multiple moves to get off the line of scrimmage. This means jamming him at the snap is difficult. We'll see a conservative offense for the most part from Tampa, but watch Herron in dynasty leagues.

Footballguys view: Cruz should be ok for the season opener. It sounds like he is on crutches and in a boot to aid healing, not because he has a serious injury. He's still worth a pick in the 4th, if not third round of PPR leagues.
