Latavius Murray Could Be Goal-Line Back
6 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray could be used a lot inside the five-yard line this year to alleviate some stress on Dalvin Cook, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. Both Murray and Cook are expected to be used as receivers in offensive coordinator John DeFilippo's system, and sometimes they might both be on the field at the same time. It's possible that Cook's touches will gradually increase as the season wears on. While it's a bit concerning that Murray could vulture touchdowns from Cook, the main takeaway is that Cook is healthy and should gradually see more of the workload. He's a low-end RB1 target.
