OAK RB Latavius Murray - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Latavius Murray at St. Louis Rams

Latavius Murray is out for this week because of a concussion. If he can return next week, he will have a tough matchup against San Francisco, but still offers the highest upside in the Oakland backfield.

OAK RB Latavius Murray - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 – Latavius Murray vs. Kansas City Chiefs
If you have been waiting on Oakland to give Latavius Murray a shot, it appears as though your wait may be over. Unearthed in San Diego on Sunday for a brief tour of duty, Murray rushed for 43 yards on four carries. He also caught three passes for 16 yards. He provided the hope that Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew used to provide. Unfortunately for Murray, there will not be much hope for success against the Chiefs, who amazingly have not allowed a single rushing touchdown all season. Murray is worth a waiver claim in deeper leagues, but give it time before you think about inserting him into your lineup.

OAK RB Latavius Murray - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 – Latavius Murray vs. San Diego Chargers
Latavius Murray did not receive a single touch in week four when the Raiders lost to Miami prior to their bye. At some point, maybe the Raiders will wise up and give him a shot, but until that happens, Murray has zero fantasy value.

OAK RB Latavius Murray - Week 4, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 – Latavius Murray vs. Miami Dolphins
With Maurice Jones-Drew out of action the past two weeks, there was speculation about an increased role for Latavius Murray. However, during that span Murray totaled only four carries and did not catch a pass. Jones-Drew could be back on Sunday, which means anyone who gambled on Murray can send him back to the free agent pool.

OAK RB Latavius Murray - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 – Latavius Murray at New England Patriots
Anyone who wanted to see what Latavius Murray was all about had their hopes up going into last weekend, as Murray was expected to get a decent workload in the wake of Maurice Jones-Drew’s absence. However, in true Oakland fashion, disappointment was the order of the day as Murray received one carry. Even if Latavius is busier this weekend, he will probably spend most of his day on the sideline. Murray remains nothing more than a curiosity who still needs some breaks to have any chance at making fantasy headlines.

OAK RB Latavius Murray - Week 1, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 – Latavius Murray at New York Jets
With Maurice Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden currently healthy, Murray is not going to get many opportunities this week. He is strictly a free agent to keep an eye on.

OAK RB Latavius Murray - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Selected by Oakland in the sixth round of the 2013 draft, Latavius Murray missed his rookie season due to injury. Now healthy, Murray has been used as a kick returner during the preseason and also seen time in the backfield behind veterans Maurice Jones-Drew and Darren McFaden. Will Murray’s playing time increase as the season progresses?

Fantasy Upside
Jones-Drew and McFadden have both dealt with injuries in recent seasons (and McFadden has had durability issues throughout his entire career). Murray may be third on the depth chart heading into the season, but things can change rapidly in the NFL. Oakland, which has improved on defense and has a questionable situation at quarterback, will operate a run-oriented scheme.

Fantasy Downside
If the veteran duo of Jones-Drew and McFadden are able to stay somewhat healthy, Murray’s chances will be limited, especially considering the Raiders could shift fullback Marcel Reece to halfback, which they have done in recent seasons. The Raiders are lacking talent in spots along the offensive line and defenses will be crowding the line of scrimmage until Oakland’s passing game shows any signs of competence.

Bottom Line
With many obstacles at the moment, Murray is not worth drafting unless you are in a dynasty league. However, if you are compiling a list of waiver wire prospects for future reference, he should definitely be on it.
