Latavius Murray Expected To Be Lead Back
3 years agoBaltimore Ravens running back Le'Veon Bell will make his 2021 season debut in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos, but Latavius Murray is expected to be the team's lead back on Sunday. Ty'Son Williams has basically been the team's lead back through the first three games, but he's barely played over half the offensive snaps with veterans Murray and Devonta Freeman also being mixed into this committee approach. Murray has had 8.6 touches per game with Baltimore, and just because he's expected to be the lead back against Denver, it doesn't mean that he'll suddenly have a much higher fantasy ceiling against a strong defense on the road. The Ravens could opt to go with a hot-hand approach, too, which makes this a very tricky backfield to navigate in fantasy.
