4 years agoThe New Orleans Saints placed running back Latavius Murray on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. The entire New Orleans running back room will not be able to suit up against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17 as they were deemed close contacts to Alvin Kamara, who tested positive for the coronavirus earlier in the week. Murray was originally expected to take on lead-back duties with Kamara out but that role will now fall to Ty Montgomery, who will be elevated from the practice squad. Montgomery instantly becomes an interesting flex play in redraft formats and an excellent salary-saving option in DFS contests for Sunday.--Matt T - RotoBaller
