Latavius Murray projected to be the Vikings' lead back in Week 5
Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray is projected to be the team's lead back against the Chicago Bears in Week 5.
What It Means:
With Dalvin Cook (knee) done for the season, Murray and Jerick McKinnon will pick up the slack in the Vikings' backfield. Murray saw 7 carries and 1 target to McKinnon's 0 carries and 2 targets after Cook went down in Week 4.
numberFire's models project Murray for 50.3 yards and 0.3 touchdowns on 11.5 carries as well as 10.6 yards on 1.3 receptions against the Bears. He is our 20th-ranked fantasy running back for Week 5.
