Latavius Murray is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 12 of the 2022 NFL season.

ROSTERED IN: 23% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Latavius Murray operated as the Broncos' lead back in Week 11, rushing 17 times for 49 yards and one touchdown while also adding four receptions for 23 yards through the air. Murray played 50 percent of snaps while Melvin Gordon played 45 percent. Chase Edmonds was also expected to get involved, but he suffered an ankle injury early in the game and was quickly ruled out.
The Broncos have committed to giving the ball to both Murray and Melvin Gordon, a trend that should continue against the Panthers in Week 12. On one hand, neither player will emerge as a week-by-week workhorse, unless an injury occurs. That's okay, though. Considering the two backs have each eclipsed double-digit fantasy points in three of their last four games, they can both be viewed as fine FLEX options going forward.
Not only should Murray be pursued on waivers, but he might be worth starting as soon as you get him on your roster. After all, he has the upper hand over Gordon considering his workload, ball security, and success on short-yardage conversions.
