Latavius Murray rebounded well from a bad showing in the Minnesota Vikings loss. This week versus the Cincinnati Bengals, the fourth-year workhorse tied a season-high 20 touches for 76 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for 28 yards in the Vikings win. Murray only had 20 total yards in the previous week’s loss to the Carolina Panthers. Murray has at least 68 yards rushing in five out of the last six games. He was shut out of the end zone the previous two games.
Fantasy football Week 16: Start or sit Latavius Murray?
The Vikings workhorse found the end zone after a two-week hiatus. We look at the fantasy impact.


Murray is looking for revenge against the Green Bay Packers Saturday. In their Week 6 meeting, he rushed 15 times for just 28 yards and caught one pass for 10 yards in the Vikings win. The Packers have been generous to running backs this season. They allow the 10th-most rushing yards in the league, but they do not give up many rushing touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: Murray has a lot of upside for a revenge matchup with the Packers Saturday. The Packers struggle to stop the run. They are even friendlier to pass-catching backs. Murray works in a timeshare, which limits his overall touches, but he is the main rusher. He should run a lot in a cold outdoor meeting in Green Bay. He is a good backup back with upside for your playoff lineup.
