BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It appeared wise to avoid any member of Denver’s backfield while the Broncos were operating with a highly congested backfield rotation of Murray, Melvin Gordon, and Mike Boone.
However, Boone’s ankle issue has narrowed the rotation to Murray and Gordon. This has positioned Murray to operate with a respectable workload while generating enough fantasy points to warrant including him among this week’s roster options.
Murray has now reached a 44% snap share in two of his last three games while accumulating 136 rushing yards on 37 attempts since joining the Broncos in Week 6. That includes his numbers when Denver traveled to London, as Murray led the Broncos in carries (14), and rushing yards (46), while also producing a two-yard touchdown.
Gordon has attained a 45.8% snap share while generating 128 yards on 38 carries (3.3 per attempt) in four games since Javonte Williams sustained a torn ACL. He has also been targeted 11 times while producing 89 receiving yards during that span. It is unlikely that Gordon will be entrusted with a mammoth workload which should sustain a path for Murray to retain relevance as a flex option.
