Latavius Murray, RB, Minnesota Vikings

Price: $5,600

Latavius Murray gets a massive boost if Dalvin Cook (hamstring) doesn't suit up, but with Cook still limited at practice, even if he does play we should see Murray take a bigger share of the work than usual.

Murray has played two games sans Cook this year, notching a total of 13 carries and 9 targets. Those aren't bell-cow numbers, but it's still a reasonable amount of opportunity, especially because of the healthy passing game usage.

Cook did suit up for one game in between those two, but he played only 24% of the team's snaps, while Murray played 55%.

The Vikings are huge 10.5-point favorites against Arizona, and that means they won't need to push Cook unless he is 100% healthy, which doesn't seem especially likely. They also stand to see a very run-heavy game script.

Monitor Cook's status, because if he's full-go then Murray's value takes a hit. This week is thin on running back value, though, leaving Murray in play regardless.
