fans, start your engines ... because the NFL's offseason has blasted out of the gates.On the same day that fantasy superstar , NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that the have to the .Murray was the best running back in in 2014, as he led the league with 1,845 rushing yards and scored 13 touchdowns in what would be his final season with the . He turned that production into a $40 million contract with the , but the Oklahoma product was unable to duplicate his previous succe s. In fact, Murray finished 18th at his position and scored around 150 fewer fantasy points last season.His lack of production was due in large part to the fact that he went from a featured role in Dallas to a committee alongside and Shelby Miller Jersey in Philadelphia. That shouldn't be the case in Tenne see, as Murray should be the bell cow for coach Mike Mularkey and his "exotic smash mouth" attack. A suming the use the NFL draft (and their No. 1 overall pick) to improve their offensive line, Murray should see a small increase in fantasy value.That doesn't mean he'll return to elite status because that's a long shot, but Murray (3.6 YPC in 2015) will be in the RB2 conversation. As for , and , no one will hold much seasonal draft value as long as Murray is at 100 percent and out on the field.On the flip side, Mathews looks like he'll become the top running back for the (unle s the team continues to wheel and deal). He looked better than Murray for parts of last season, averaging over five yards per attempt and rushing for six touchdowns. If he can avoid injuries, which has been a problem in the past, Mathews figures to join Murray as a viable No. 2 fantasy runner.Overall, this should be considered a good move for the running back position. Before the trade, we had potential committee me ses in Philadelphia and Tenne see. Now we have a pair of featured backs, at least on the surface, who both have RB2 value. The trade also means that the won't pick a runner in the first few rounds of the NFL draft, so a back like Alabama's could fall to the at the top of the second round.Stay tuned ...Why wait? to get your 2016 NFL season started.Michael Fabiano is an award-winning analyst on NFL.com and NFL Network and a member of the Sports Writers A sociation (FSWA) .
