Raiders HC Tony Sparano thinks Latavius Murray 'can handle the workload' of a feature back

Latavius Murray might be the Raiders feature back of the future, and it’s not based on one great night. He’s averaging 5.4 yards per carry, largely over the course of three games as a feature back.

It’s the gritty work that deserves acclaim, and it proves he’s no flash in the pan.

“Early in the season, it took us a while to figure that part of it out,” interim head coach Tony Sparano said during an interview with Sirius XM radio. “He’s a guy that was hurt all year last year. Latavius has really come into his own, and I think he can handle the workload of being a No. 1 guy.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Dynasty and keeper owners should take note -- Murray's arrow is pointing up, though a regime change could alter his trajectory significantly.

Raiders Beat: RB1 job 'appears to be' Latavius Murray's for the rest of the season

Raiders beat writer Bill Williamson on Latavius Murray's recent ascension:

The job appears to be Murray’s for the rest of the season. He had 23 carries for 76 yards against the 49ers. Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew have been disappointments this season. It is likely neither will be back next year. Thus, Murray will get the chance in the final three games to show Oakland it doesn’t have to worry about finding a lead back. Murray is an interesting player. After missing his rookie year last season with an injury, the former sixth-round draft pick started very slowly. But he has played well in the past three weeks, highlighted by his 90-yard touchdown run against the Chiefs on Nov. 20. The Chiefs will clearly be keying on Murray in this game. It will be fascinating to see who wins this battle.

Fantasy Impact: 

After saying that Murray wouldn't be the workhorse, the team gave Murray workhorse-type carries in a grind-it-out win against the 49ers in Week 14. Murray has a terrific matchup against the Chiefs, who have yielded 4.9 YPC this season. The question is -- can Derek Carr provide enough of a threat in the passing game to keep Kansas City from keying on Murray?

Raiders QB Derek Carr is getting some help.

The rookie quarterback has struggled this season, and he hasn’t had a lot of support. But in recent games that has changed. Of course, keys have been running back Latavius Murray and tight end Mychal Rivera.

The two 2013 sixth-round picks are becoming key parts of the Oakland offense. Both players helped Carr as Oakland beat rival San Francisco, 24-13, on Sunday.

This is good news for Oakland for the remainder of the season, but, truly, it is more important for the future. Oakland is 2-11. This season has been a disaster and that won’t change regardless of what happens in the final three weeks. The Raiders are about the future.

Fantasy Impact: 

The bog article goes on to say that if Murray can be a workhorse running back and Rivera can be a top tight end option, it will expedite Carr’s development. They can be core players for the long haul. If the Raiders can enter January feeling strongly about both of them moving forward, that's a couple less positions of need.

Raiders RB Latavius Murray (concussion, probable) took full practice reps again Friday and is probable for Week 14. Murray will play this week, though HC Tony Sparano said that he won’t be a workhorse down the stretch. He has upside, but the Raiders seem intent on limiting his touches.
