Week 9 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Latavius Murray missed the game against the Bengals before the bye last week but should be active in Week 9. When we last saw him, he scored a touchdown on nine carries against the Chargers, finishing with 44 yards on the ground and 12 yards on a pair of receptions. Murray has been a part of the offense since arriving in Baltimore, but he’s still splitting time with other backs – most notably Devonta Freeman.
This week, Murray faces a Vikings defense that ranks 10th in aFPA to opposing running backs. With a tough matchup, a timeshare and limited expectations for the passing game, Murray should be considered a low-end RB3 option in most formats. He’s pretty touchdown-dependent, and if he doesn’t get in, he can cost you.
Update: With Murray likely out today, be sure to get him out of your lineup.
