Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray has part of the equation covered. In the past two weeks he's handled the overwhelming amount of the carries, with running backs Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew only getting two each last week.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Latavius Murray should get work
Latavius Murray should see plenty of carries. Is he a good fantasy option?

The problem was that the Raiders had two tough matchups, so it didn't result in much output for Murray. That's the case this week yet again as they face the Buffalo Bills. The Bills are the fourth-toughest matchup for running backs and they stifled the Green Bay Packers last week in a 21-13 victory. However, the Bills have allowed over 100 yards to backs in four of their last six and this game is at Oakland, so it's not a nightmare matchup for Murray.
Fantasy impact: Still, there is very little to like here. The Raiders can’t score and Murray’s fantasy owners are going to need him to break one to have value. That’s too risky, so he’s more of a low-end RB2.
