Latavius Murray 2019 Outlook
Any belief that Mark Ingram might stick around in New Orleans went by the wayside when the Saints reached an agreement with Murray on a four-year deal worth a reported $14.4 million as free agency opened. ... Murray was the primary starter for Minnesota in 2017 when Dalvin Cook was out with a torn ACL and took a more complementary role in 2018 (although he still led the way when Cook missed time with a hamstring injury). Given Alvin Kamara's presence, that's likely to be the kind of role he plays in 2019 as well. That would hardly render Murray irrelevant. Assuming he steps right into Ingram’s former role, it's worth noting that Ingram saw 13 touches per game last year, and, as CBSSports.com noted, virtually anyone who has run the ball in New Orleans recently has been efficient. Murray has scored 26 touchdowns over the past three seasons and should get plenty of red-zone opportunities in the high-powered Saints' offense. That said, don't let Murray's reputation as a between-the-tackles rusher throw you; Murray was used (albeit sparingly) in the passing game in Minnesota, where he totaled 141 yards on 22 receptions in 2018. As CBS summed up: "He's not the starting running back for the Saints, but he may be on your fantasy team."

Latavius Murray 2018 Outlook
Murray started his first season in Minnesota slowly and never really challenged Dalvin Cook for the No. 1 job. Off-season ankle surgery made Murray look slow and tentative when he first took the field although he got better, stronger and faster with each passing game. Cook was hitting his stride as a versatile, dynamic rookie when he tore an ACL in his fourth game leaving Murray and Jerick McKinnon to carry the load. All indications are that Cook will return to full strength by the start of the 2018 season, but Jerick McKinnon moved on in free agency, so the Vikings still have a need for Murray. So much so that they restructured his contract in March even though his $5.1 million non-guaranteed base salary feels a bit pricey for a guy who averaged 3.9 yards on 216 carries and 6.9 yards on 15 receptions last season. Murray's role entering the season will depend on Cook's progression through the rehab process, but either way the Vikings need his services. Once Cook is fully recovered, he and Murray will be a strong 1-2 punch.

Latavius Murray 2017 Outlook
Even though Murray scored 12 touchdowns and averaged 4.0 yards per carry as the leader of a three-back pack, the Raiders allowed him to move on as a free agent. Minnesota obviously had a need after declining the 2017 option on Adrian Peterson's contract, making the longtime Viking an unrestricted free agent and opening up a position in their backfield. Murray, who played three seasons with the Raiders after he was drafted in the sixth round out of Central Florida in 2013, was their answer -- and, at least initially, the best answer. He joined Jerick McKinnon, C.J. Ham and Bishop Sankey and was viewed as the likely starter until the team drafted Dalvin Cook in the second round of April's draft. Murray, who underwent ankle surgery shortly after his signing, has the desired size and speed. He also runs with power and brings more to the field as a receiver than Peterson did. But he'll need to be fully recovered from that surgery to have an opportunity to contribute alongside Cook and take advantage of the Vikings' upgraded offensive line. Even assuming he's fully healthy, Murray's fantasy value took a big shot with the addition of Cook.
