BALLER MOVE: Start In 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: FLEX
ANALYSIS: Let's make no mistake about it, this is officially James Cook's backfield in Buffalo. Especially after he single-handedly dominated the Dallas Cowboys last week for over 200 yards from scrimmage and two scores.
However, Latavius Murray continues to get goal-line carries and handled five carries for 11 yards and a touchdown last week, too. That was good for 7.1 points, which you probably wouldn't complain about from your Flex spot in a pretty deep league.
Latavius Murray in there somewhere for 6 💪
— SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) December 17, 2023
Murray is a risky start this week, but he draws a favorable matchup against a woeful Chargers defense that has been run over by opposing teams. They rank 25th in DVOA rush defense and have not been able to stop the run all season. The Chargers are also coming off an embarrassing 63-21 loss to the Raiders, the firing of their coach, and have nothing to play for today.
Murray is ranked as the 52nd running back in our RotoBaller ranks this week. Deploy him only if you have no other viable options and hope for a touchdown or some garbage time production in what could be a potential blowout today.
