Latavius Murray injury update: Raiders RB ruled out; has fantasy value going forward
Latavius Murray will not play in Oakland’s game against the Rams on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Murray is in his second season, and has only taken carries in five games this year. But he did do plenty with the eight carries he had in his last two games, against the San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs -- he carried the ball four times for 43 yards against the Chargers, and took four carries for 112 yards and two touchdowns against the Chiefs before exiting in the first quarter due to his concussion.
Fantasy Impact: Murray has a ton of fantasy value, but he won’t be playing against the Rams on Sunday. Fantasy owners should hold on to him, as he should be good to go for Week 14 and could be the difference-maker in pivotal late-season matchups.
