6. Latavius Murray, Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos offense has been anything but exciting to watch, but volume takes precedent in fantasy football. Latavius Murray has yet to see fewer than eight carries since joining the Broncos, and has seen more work overall than “starting” running back Melvin Gordon. There’s no reason that should change, even with the addition of Chase Edmonds.

Murray has a good matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, who have been horrible on defense this season. The entire Broncos offense should get a slight boost due to the matchup, making Murray a volume-based, touchdown-dependent RB3 in Week 11.

5. Antonio Gibson, Washington Commanders

In the Commanders’ Week 10 upset of the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles, they ran the ball a whopping 49 times. Brian Robison saw 26 of them to Antonio Gibson’s 14. However, Gibson remained the Commanders’ primary passing down back, which keeps him relevant as a PPR option in fantasy football.

The matchup against the Houston Texans couldn’t be better for the Commanders’ running backs. Both are startable against the worst rushing defense in the NFL, and Gibson continues to have a pass-catching floor, making him a very intriguing flex option this week.
