BUF RB Latavius Murray - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. New York Giants
Latavius Murray played a season-low 18% of the snaps and only had three touches. So he was fantasy irrelevant last week to say the least. Not that we expected much, but Buffalo will probably try to get back to the run game in Week 6.

The Bills face an average Giants run defense, but Murray won't get enough touches to help any manager this week. Keep him on the bench.

BUF RB Latavius Murray - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (London)
Latavius Murray's snaps went up last week, but his touches were still only six. However, he still ended up with 56 total yards. The Bills like Murray's veteran presence so playing a third of snaps is not surprising.

It will be a tough matchup this week against Jacksonville and Murray should remain on your bench. But he does have value and against a lesser opponent, he might be considered for your starting lineup.

BUF RB Latavius Murray - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Miami Dolphins
No doubt Latavuius Murray is the short-yardage guy for the Bills as evidenced by his second touchdown in as many weeks. He is only averaging just over four touches a week so the touchdowns are important in his fantasy makeup.

Murray faces a below-average Miami run defense, but its hard to rely on someone just on touchdowns and until his touches go up, he should remain on your bench as a depth player for Week 4.

BUF RB Latavius Murray - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Washington Commanders
So far in 2023, it appears Latavius Murray is getting some goal line and short yardage runs. He scored a touchdown last week and even though he was only on the field for 23% of the games, the Bills seems to like him as the next back up behind James Cook.

Murray only received eight touches, but his type of usage puts him on the fantasy radar, although probably still not ready to be on a fantasy roster quite yet.

DEN RB Latavius Murray - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Kansas City Chiefs
Latavius Murray only played 47% of the Broncos' offensive snaps in Week 16 and only got eight carries to go along with a single catch on three targets. Murray is the Broncos' lead back at this point in the season, but that role is not particularly valuable in fantasy as he still splits work and the Broncos struggle to move the ball and score points on a consistent basis. The Chiefs actually boast a decent run defense and there are serious game script concerns for Murray this week in a road matchup against Patrick Mahomes. Murray works as a desperation flex play given his role, but he also carries the potential to give you virtually nothing in fantasy if this game gets out of hand early.

DEN RB Latavius Murray - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Los Angeles Rams
Latavius Murray saw workhorse usage with Russell Wilson inactive in Week 15. Murray played 67% of Denver's offensive snaps and carried the ball 24 times on his way to 142 total yards and a touchdown. Do not be surprised if that ends up being Murray's best fantasy performance of the season, as he benefited both from a run-heavy game plan without Wilson under center and a favorable game script due to the Cardinals' own quarterback debacle. Marlon Mack has emerged as a legitimate pass catching option for the Broncos over the past couple of weeks, a development that caps Murray's ceiling and renders him game script dependent. The good news is the Rams boast a weak run defense while being solid against the pass. Murray is a flex option simply based on his role and projected volume.

DEN RB Latavius Murray - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Latavius Murray only played 51% of the Broncos' offensive snaps in Week 14 and logged a mere 31 yards on eight carries and three catches. Denver's inability to score leaves them in negative game scripts with frequency and the running back box scores suffer as a result. The Cardinals are weak defensively, but the touches in this Denver offense are so inefficient that the fantasy floor for everyone involved is low, even for a "lead back" like Murray. He finds himself in the RB3 range based on volume and matchup alone, but Murray remains a risky start for fantasy purposes.
