Latavius Murray Fantasy

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray posted 64 rushing yards on seven carries and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Murray was out-touched by Alvin Kamara 17-nine, though Murray looked like the better player in this game. It was a great rebound effort for the 29-year-old, who had seen his snaps decrease steadily over the last three games. Perhaps the coaching staff will look to Murray more moving forward, especially considering they promised him more touches earlier in the year. He and the Saints will take on a strong Indianapolis Colts run defense in Week 15.

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. San Francisco's defense ranks 22nd against the run despite being the best in the league against the pass, presenting Murray with a good matchup. The problem is, he's seen a steady decrease in snaps and touches over the last three games, including his second-lowest snap total of the season last week, 13. This usage makes Murray nothing more than flex play in deep leagues, even in a more run-friendly matchup.

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray carried the ball four times for only two yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in a 26-18 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old failed to find running room against the Falcons in what was his worst game of the year so far. Even worse, Murray was out-touched by fellow back Alvin Kamara, who registered 15 touches. Murray can still be a flex play, though he needs a favorable matchup to do well. Next week doesn't look too promising, with the stingy San Francisco 49ers rolling into the Big Easy.
