2023 Fantasy Outlook
Given that Chargers opted not to pick up Murray's fifth-year option, this is a pivotal campaign for the 2020 first-rounder. This past season, Murray registered just 76 tackles despite playing 690 snaps. With longtime Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks joining the team in place of inside linebacker Drue Tranquill, who signed with the Chiefs this offseason, Murray will likely be relegated to working as the Chargers' off-ball linebacker once more.

ANALYSIS
Murray missed the final two games of his Chargers tenure due to a shoulder injury, but he's expected to be recovered by the time Tennessee begins organized team activities. Prior to getting hurt, Murray posted 107 tackles in 2023, tying the career high he set as a rookie in 2020 after being drafted 23rd overall that year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team declines fifth-year option
LBLos Angeles Chargers
April 30, 2023
The Chargers declined Murray's fifth-year option Friday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray's set to be a free agent after the 2023 season. The linebacker had 107 tackles as a rookie after being drafted 23rd overall by the Chargers in 2020, but Murray has just 107 tackles over the two subsequent seasons.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
It was a disappointing second season for the 2020 first-round pick as injury issues, namely a problematic ankle which eventually warranted offseason surgery, ultimately saw Murray lose playing time to both Kyzir White and Drue Tranquill through the 2021 season. The Chargers opted not to re-sign White, who landed in Philadelphia earlier this spring, which means Murray is once again expected to start at inside linebacker for a defense that saw dramatic improvements in just about every other level this offseason. The 23-year-old isn't guaranteed to be healthy at the start of training camp, but if he proves to be healthy, he could be a significant source of tackles for an emerging defense.
While Murray did post 100-plus tackles in his rookie debut, the Oklahoma product struggled in pass coverage at times and didn't make nearly the type of game-changing plays that the Chargers may have hoped for after trading up to draft the 22-year-old in the first round. Another year of development should only help Murray and it's entirely possible this time next year, the middle linebacker could be one of the top IDP options at his position.
The Chargers gave up a hefty haul in order to trade up in the 2020 Draft, ultimately selecting the Oklahoma product to be their starting middle linebacker. Murray has all tools to be a tremendous three-down linebacker, and has the necessary speed (4.52 40-yard dash) to cover sideline to sideline. It's possible the 21-year-old could be subbed out in obvious passing situations given the Chargers' depth, particularly with coverage linebackers, but expect Murray to be a staple in the team's front seven for years to come.
