Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray is listed as probable on the team's injury report.
Latavius Murray injury update: Raiders RB listed as probable for fantasy owners
The Raiders’ No. 1 running back suffered a concussion in Week 9 but is expected to take the field on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Murray was bounced from action during Week 9's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering a concussion. Though he entered the league's concussion protocol as a result, Murray made a swift recovery and returned to practice at a limited participation on Thursday before practicing fully on Friday. The probable designation indicates he will be a full-go on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy impact: It’s clear that Murray is “the” guy in the Raiders’ backfield, and the volume that comes his way each week puts him among fantasy football’s more reliable running backs to own. Murray has accumulated the 13th-most fantasy points among running backs in standard leagues, making his floor one of the more enviable ones among fantasy owners.
Murray will have a tough matchup against a Vikings defense that has ceded the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, and has only given up two rushing touchdowns since Week 2. Despite that, his big-play ability and volume puts Murray squarely in the RB2 conversation for Week 10.
