Scouting report

BAL RB Latavius Murray - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Latavius Murray had five carries and a reception for 24 yards last week against the Bengals. While he’s definitely cutting into the workload of Devonta Freeman and he has touchdown upside in short-yardage situations, it’s hard to trust his lack of consistent work. He’s going to end up being a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option, which is too risky in the vast majority of fantasy leagues to trust in a lineup.

BAL RB Latavius Murray - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Cincinnati Bengals

Just when we all thought it was safe to put Devonta Freeman in our lineups, Latavius Murray out-carried him seven-to-six against the Packers. Murray also had two more targets, though he still wound up with just one catch and seven carries for 51 yards.

This week, Murray faces a Bengals defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing running backs. There’s upside here if Murray can be the short-yardage back, but with both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley a threat for red-zone touches, it might be best to ignore the entire Baltimore backfield.

BAL RB Latavius Murray - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

Latavius Murray had a couple of nice catches for a total of 34 yards receiving last week against the Steelers, but he had only two targets and two carries on the day, compared to 19 total touches for Devonta Freeman. Until that ratio starts to favor Murray, it’s too risky to have him in lineups. The only hope is that he vultures a touchdown, and that’s something we expect more from Lamar Jackson in this offense. Leave Murray on waivers.

BAL RB Latavius Murray - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Latavius Murray has been healthy for a couple weeks now but seems to have taken a backseat to Devonta Freeman. He had just eight carries last week and he isn’t involved in the passing game. Unless that changes, he’s too risky to have in fantasy lineups. He’s droppable in most formats.

BAL RB Latavius Murray - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Cleveland Browns

Latavius Murray returned to action last week against the Bears but gained only 32 yards on 10 carries. He added two receptions for a single yard as well. He split touches with Devonta Freeman, who seems to have grabbed the starting running back job while he was out. Murray has upside if he can win the job back, and he has a decent chance of doing so. However, until we see him get the bulk of the work, he should remain an end-of-bench stash option in most leagues. Sit him.

BAL RB Latavius Murray - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

BAL RB Latavius Murray - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Latavius Murray followed up his 18-carry performance against the Broncos with just six carries and 17 yards against the Colts on Monday night. This is wildly frustrating for fantasy managers to try and figure out which – if any – Ravens running back is worth starting. The Chargers rank 15th in aFPA to opposing running backs, and they just gave up big numbers to Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb last week, but without any confidence in his workload, consider Murray no better than an RB3 or low-end flex option.
