RB: Latavius Murray, Oakland Raiders
Opponent: at Houston Texans
Price: $6,700
Murray tallied just five carries last week against the Denver Broncos, but I'm willing to bet he sees an increased workload. One, the Raiders were playing from behind for much of the game last week and finished with just 16 carries as a team. Two, head coach Jack Del Rio has already publicly stated that Murray needs more work. And three, with rookie Connor Cook under center, the Raiders would be smart to lean on the running game. Ultimately, I think Murray gets somewhere around 15 carries, and as we've seen this year, he can put up big games when he gets the touches. He may not feel like a sleeper at $6,700, but as the sixth-most expensive starting running back with just eight teams in play, he qualifies as an underrated option. (Getty)
