MIN RB Latavius Murray - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Chicago Bears

Latavius Murray likely won't be much of a factor moving forward with Dalvin Cook returning to the lineup. He might get a few touches here and there, but likely not enough to remain relevant in fantasy.

MIN RB Latavius Murray - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Detroit Lions

Latavius Murray is expected to start again as Dalvin Cook continues to nurse his injury. He finished with 95 yards and a score last week. He's now had at least 80 yards and a score in three straight games filling in for Cook, so he's been useful in Minnesota's backfield.

He should continue to play well this week against the Lions, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing backs. Detroit has given up at least 80 yards to backs in each game this season. As long as Cook stays out, Murray can be viewed as a low-end RB1 option.

MIN RB Latavius Murray - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New Orleans Saints

Latavius Murray had 83 total yards and two touchdowns last week as he continues to fill in for Dalvin Cook. Over the past three weeks, Murray has been a decent option in Cook's replacement, and should continue in that role likely past Minnesota's bye week.

He faces a Saints defense this week that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs. New Orleans is allowing the fewest rush yards per game (72.3) and lowest yards per carry (3.1) so it could be a tough day for Murray. He should be viewed as an RB2.

MIN RB Latavius Murray - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Jets

Latavius Murray has been filling in while Dalvin Cook is in injury purgatory. Before last week, he'd been doing a poor job, but he suddenly had a burst of energy and exploded for 155 yards and a TD in Week 6.

Murray's value in fantasy is directly tied to whether or not Dalvin Cook plays. If Cook is inactive again, Murray is a solid RB2 play against the Jets. If Cook is active, then Murray is not much more than a distant RB4.

MIN RB Latavius Murray - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Latavius Murray filled in while Dalvin Cook was injured and did a decent job. His performances didn't exactly scream "give me more playing time," though. Now that Cook appears to be healthy, we don't expect Murray to have much production for Minnesota.

MIN RB Latavius Murray - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Philadelphia Eagles

It would make sense that with Dalvin Cook not getting the ball, Latavius Murray would be. But that hasn't been the case. Oddly enough, his carries have gone down as the weeks progress, limited to just two in each of the last two games. He's off the fantasy radar for in Week 5.

MIN RB Latavius Murray - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Los Angeles Rams

Dalvin Cook was out last week, which meant Latavius Murray was set up to be the main back. Only problem? The Vikings didn't run. Between Murray and backup RB Mike Boone, Minnesota only ran the ball four times—two carries per each back. Murray had just one rushing yard. He did contribute as a receiver, hauling in five passes for 30 yards, but he certainly was a let down.

Assuming Cook sits out again, Murray could get lead-back duties again. He gets a decent matchup against the Rams, who have allowed some decent games to backs so far this season. Just last week, Chargers backs ran for 127 yards against them.

Murray should be viewed as an RB2 play if Cook remains out.
