Fantasy Football 2014: Week 15 Waiver Wire top 10 Pickups
Latavius Murray-RB-Oakland Raiders (31.2%)
Murray is a running back on the rise and returned from his concussion to show what he can do as he helped the Raiders pull an upset at home against the 49ers.
Murray carried the load with 23 carries against San Francisco running for 76 yards and adding nine more yards on his two receptions. He clearly is the lead back in Oakland and the best playmaker in the Raiders backfield. It looks like the Raiders may be able to start building around Murray and Derek Carr, so look for him to get plenty of carries in the next two weeks so they can evaluate just what they have in the second year back from Central Florida.
This week, Murray and the Raiders face the Chiefs who will be keyed in on stopping Murray after he torched them for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only four carries a few weeks ago. Look for Murray to be a low-end RB2 or a nice flex play this week.
