Louis Murphy catches one pass in win over the Rams.

It went for six yards. Murphy ended up starting seven games for the Niners after spending 2016 out of football, but he caught just eight passes for 121 yards and a touchdown. Turning 31 in the spring, Murphy probably won't be a fantasy option if he earns a roster spot next summer.

Louis Murphy catches one pass against the Bears.

Murphy gained 16 yards on his lone reception. He might have a fantasy-start worthy performance over the final four games, but it's risky inserting him into fantasy lineups.

Louis Murphy catches touchdown in Week 12.

Murphy caught two of four targets for 14 yards and a touchdown versus Seattle, with the score coming as time expired with the game in hand. Perhaps most notably, the touchdown was the first of Jimmy Garoppolo's 49ers career, and fans will hope it's one that's replayed a lot through the year if Garoppolo leads the franchise back to prominence. For fantasy purposes, Murphy isn't a recommended option right now.

Louis Murphy caught two passes for 48 yards in his 2017 debut.

The 30-year-old Murphy had not appeared in a game since 2015 with Tampa Bay, but he made an impact in San Francisco's first win of the season, including a 40-yard reception. He won't be a fantasy option when the team returns from their Week 11 bye.
