6 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray has been dynamite the past two weeks for fantasy owners, but he faces the top-ranked run defense of the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. The last time a running back had more than 45 rushing yards against them was in Week 1. With Dalvin Cook (hamstring) out, Murray will slot in as the RB1, but it will be tough for him to make anything happen. The game is projected to be a shootout, so maybe Murray can get involved in the passing game. Regardless, he is a risky fantasy option at the flex position for Week 8.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
