Latavius Murray Fantasy

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray picked up 21 rushing yards on five carries and caught one of two targets for four yards in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Murray finishes his season with a disappointing effort, though it ended up being a pretty good year for the 29-year-old. He enjoyed two games as the starter with Alvin Kamara injured, as he proceeded to explode for over 150 scrimmage yards in both games. For the year, Murray posted a career-high 4.4 yards per carry and scored at least five times for the fifth straight year. He and Kamara could potentially benefit from a more run-heavy approach in 2020, as Drew Brees nears his 41st birthday.

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has performed well in a backup role to Alvin Kamara this season, but a wild-card matchup with the Minnesota Vikings proves to be a tough spot. Murray is very much a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, but he does have 34 receptions on the season, adding some PPR value to his profile. While his usage solely relies on spelling Kamara, it's very possible Murray gets a goal-line carry or two on Sunday, which gives him some flex value in a GPP lineup.

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray totaled 61 rushing yards on 17 attempts and caught his lone target for 14 receiving yards in a 42-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. Murray's 17 carries were his third-most of the year and came as a result of the Saints blowing the game open and resting their starters in the third quarter. It would have been nice to see Murray find the end zone, though he still did enough to put together his best game since Week 14. He and the Saints will await the winner of tonight's Seahawks-49ers matchup to determine if they get a first-round bye or not.
