| Attempts | Yards | TD | REC | Yards | TD | Points |

Selecting a running back is always going to come with risk, but we all know that some backs are more injury prone than others. DeMarco Murray is one of those "riskier" backs, as he always winds up as "questionable" or worse on the injury list, and is a headache to own. But when he plays, he's electric, posting per-touch numbers on par with LeSean McCoy last season according to our data. If you're approaching your draft with "risk aversion" in mind, Murray might not be the guy for you. But if you're willing to roll the dice on a healthy season from the Dallas runner, you'll be rewarded with one a top-10 performance.
