The former sixth-round pick did not have quite as big a role in the Raiders’ offense as he did in 2015, when he became the first Raider since Darren McFadden in 2010 to surpass 1,000 rushing yards. Murray amassed 788 yards this season and matched the 4.0 per-carry figure of 2015 but saw rookies Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington eat into his workload.
Latavius Murray is one of those guys who just LOOKS like he should be a football player. The Raiders have a huge decision to make here. Can they get the same production for less from Richard, Washington, or a combination of both? If the answer is yes, Murray could be headed elsewhere, and might be a nice piece to the puzzle for somebody.
As for your 2017 auction drafts, he absolutely should NOT go as high as he did in 2016 when he was $51 in our league. Granted, there were some market forces that drove his price higher than it deserved. If those conditions don't exist, he's a $30 player, at best. He's certainly not a top five back, yet. And maybe not top 15. Yet. But, he looks like he could be and you might get him for an absolute bargain.
Stay tuned.
