Increased role on tap
Murray will start at safety again for the Texans on Sunday against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray is no stranger to the role due to injuries suffered in the Texans' secondary, most notably to Jimmie Ward (groin). The Minnesota product has played at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of its last four games and hit the 100 percent mark twice. Murray has accumulated 16 combined tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an interception during that time.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Murray's put together a pair of good seasons in Houston, with the team reworking the safety's contract during the offseason, giving him a two-year extension. That came after a roller coaster ride in 2021. Murray opened the year as a starter but was replaced by Lonnie Johnson in Week 4, as defensive coordinator (now head coach) Lovie Smith looked for the right combination in the secondary. Murray reclaimed the job Week 9 and helped solidify the back end, playing with Justin Reid. He finished out the season with 55 tackles, four passes defensed and one interception over his final eight games. Murray had offseason shoulder surgery but is slated to be ready for training camp.
