  Falcons | Atlanta adds 18 UDFAs    Mon May 3, 01:44 PM

Undrafted free-agent OT Jack Batho IV (South Dakota School of Mines), DT Zac Dawe (Brigham Young), LB Dorian Etheridge (Louisville), OG Bryce Hargrove (Pittsburgh), RB Caleb Huntley (Ball State), LB Eli Howard (Texas Tech), S Dwayne Johnson (San Diego State), LB Kobe Jones (Mississippi State), CB Marcus Murphy (Mississippi State), OG Ryan Neuzil (Appalachian State), WR Antonio Nunn (Buffalo), S JR Pace (Northwestern), LB Alani Pututau (Adams State), TE John Raine (Northwestern), OG Joe Sculthorpe (North Carolina State), OT Keion Smith (Fayetteville State), LB Erroll Thompson (Mississippi State) and WR Austin Trammell (Rice) agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons Monday, May 3. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Huntley is an interesting running back to monitor. He's a strong runner with a low center of gravity and plenty of leg drive. Huntley wasn't proven as a receiver out of the backfield but he gives great effort anytime he touches the ball. The Falcons need running back help and Huntley could work his way onto the 53-man roster but as a priority free agent he's more likely to land on the practice squad.

  Bills | Marcus Murphy has elbow injury    Mon Dec 17, 04:20 PM

Buffalo Bills RB Marcus Murphy (elbow) suffered dislocated elbow in Week 15, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Footballguys view: That didn't last long. Murphy was the lead back for the Bills on Sunday due to LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory being banged up. He got hurt in the game which led the team to turn to Keith Ford. If McCoy and Ivory miss some more time, Ford could get the starting job in Week 16. Stay tuned for practice reports later in the week.

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills RB Marcus Murphy (arm) will not return to the Week 15 game because of his arm injury.

Footballguys view: The Bills eventually ended up using fullback Patrick DiMarco in the backfield and even he got banged up in this one. The Bills backfield is empty heading into a matchup with the Patriots.

  Bills | Marcus Murphy ahead of Chris Ivory?    Mon Sep 3, 12:35 PM

Buffalo Bills RB Marcus Murphy took the second snap behind LeSean McCoy and ahead of Chris Ivory during individual drills in practice Monday, Sept. 3.

Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation. McCoy is not going to land on the Commissioner's Exempt List at this time, but the league could revisit the situation later as McCoy is involved in an ongoing investigation. If anything happens to McCoy later in the year, Fantasy GMs are going to want his primary backup...although in that event we could see the Bills rolling with a RBBC featuring both Murphy and Ivory.

  Bills | Week 17 game recap for Bills    Sun Dec 31, 08:18 PM

Buffalo Bills QB Tyrod Taylor completed 19-of-27 pass attempts for 204 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins while running for 35 yards on six attempts. RB Marcus Murphy led the way with seven runs for 41 yards while RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) was limited to 10 yards on 11 rushes before checking out with an injury. TE Charles Clay shined with six grabs for 64 yards on a team-high eight targets, WR Kelvin Benjamin led the wideouts with two grabs for 27 yards and TE Nick O'Leary finished with a 26-yard touchdown on his only grab.

Footballguys view: McCoy's ankle is now a very important wild card week storyline with the Bills somehow getting into the playoffs to face the Jaguars and their old coach Doug Marrone. The offense could fall on Taylor's shoulders against the toughest pass defense in the league.

  Bills | Marcus Murphy joins Bills    Mon Nov 6, 11:02 AM

Free-agent RB Marcus Murphy (Colts) signed with the Buffalo Bills' practice squad Monday, Nov. 6. OG Will Pericak was released.

Footballguys view: A seventh-round pick (Missouri) for the Saints in 2015, Murphy has bounced around the league during his short pro career. He can work as a return man in addition to working as a running back. In super deep dynasty leagues we're not recommending Murphy be monitored.

  Saints | Two Saints backs may not make it    Fri Jul 21, 10:40 AM

New Orleans Saints RB Travaris Cadet and RB Marcus Murphy are projected as roster cuts with RB Alvin Kamara's versatility.

Footballguys view: Cadet is adept at catching the ball out of the backfield but hasn't shown much as a runner, while Murphy isn't even special in that arena. Both of these potential cuts make a lot of sense. Kamara has excellent burst and good hands, which will make him the easy choice to keep over the other two. The rookie is going in early drafts as the 53rd running back off the board, with an overall ADP of 161.
