Fantasy Football Week 7: DeMarco Murray, Tim Tebow and the Biggest Storylines

Richard LangfordOct 23, 2011

DeMarco Murray has done the impossible. He stole the spotlight from Tim Tebow.

After Tebow-mania hit a fevered pitch with his come from behind victory in the morning game, it seemed like he would be destined to own all the spotlight.

Check out what Murray did that is going to have fantasy owners falling all over themselves to sign him, and three other big headlines from Sunday's action.

DeMarco Murray

Murray rushed for 253 yards on just 25 carries. He had one touchdown. That touchdown came on a 91-yard scamper with 9:33 left in the first quarter.

There is little doubt that Murray just rushed his way to the backup job for the Cowboys, and he could even push Felix Jones for touches.

Tim Tebow

Tebow was failing miserably for three quarters of the Broncos-Dolphins game. Then the game entered Tebow time. He led a late touchdown drive then used his Tebow powers to will an onside kick to the Broncos followed by another TD drive, and a two-point conversion.

"Big Time Timmy-Jim" then put the Broncos in position to kick their game-winning field goal. He did not kick the field goal himself.

All in all, Tebow had a decent fantasy day with 161 passing yards and two touchdowns. He also had 65 yards rushing. 

Carson Palmer

Carson Palmer didn't start, but after Kyle Boller chucked three picks Carson Palmer took the field on the Raiders' second possession of the second half.

If this game was any indication, fantasy owners will want to hold off on jumping on the Carson Palmer bandwagon. He had three interceptions and zero touchdowns.

Darren McFadden left the Raiders game with no carries and one reception with a foot injury. He came back on the sideline with his foot heavily wrapped but never returned to the field.

The Raiders have a bye week next week, and you would assume that McFadden would be ready to go when they return to action against the Broncos. However, the situation is definitely worth monitoring.
