Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray participated in practice Wednesday. Murray remains in the concussion protocol but he was able to clear part of it, enough that he was allowed to practice. Murray is on track to play in Sunday's Week 13 game against the St. Louis Rams.
Latavius Murray practicing, still waiting to be cleared for fantasy owners this week

Murray was forced out of last week's win over the Kansas City Chiefs with the concussion, but not before making an impression. He rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only four carries, and interim coach Tony Sparano plans on giving him a bigger role down the stretch.
Fantasy impact: With 10 days of rest, Murray should be ready to go if he doesn't have any setbacks. He gave the running game a spark that Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew never provided. Murray is inexplicably available in 53 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so pick him up while still you can. He's a high-upside RB2 for the fantasy playoffs.
