Latavius Murray, RB, Oakland Raiders

FanDuel Salary: $6,700

Latavius Murray doesn't profile as a good pairing with Bell, either. The Oakland Raiders have a comically-low 16.75-point implied total for their road game against the Houston Texans.

Unlike Zenner, Murray isn't even a safe bet for touches as his market share over the past three weeks has dipped to 45.03%. Jalen Richard has been siphoning a little of Murray's workload all year, and that continued down the stretch as Richard saw at least nine touches (counting targets) in five of the past six games.

The real killer to Murray's value, though, has been the late-season explosion of DeAndre Washington.

Over the past two weeks, Washington has racked up 142 yards and 2 scores on 19 rushing attempts. In those two games, Murray hasn't done much to fend off his backfield mates, totaling 51 yards on 20 carries and averaging a meager 4.5 FanDuel points per game in that span.

On top of all that, Houston is allowing the third-fewest FanDuel points to running backs over the last four weeks, and they boast the seventh-best run defense, per our schedule-adjusted metrics.

Rostering Murray is just a roll of the dice on a touchdown or praying for a very positive game script. Well, Murray doesn't have a touchdown over the past three weeks -- while Washington and Richard have teamed up for three scores during that stretch -- and Oakland is a 3.5-point underdog.

If you take price out of the equation, Murray may still be a worse play than either Washington or Richard, and the latter two -- Washington at $4,500 and Richard at $5,200 -- have some appeal as low-cost tournament dart throws.
