the Raiders gave the ball to Arian Foster?Raiders went with the hot hand
Haha.hey he averaged 6 yards a carry
Raiders are a joke. Allen will be fired before the bye, which is early.ShaHBucks said:Maybe he'll get a meaningful carry on his next team.
Yeah, I was just thinking about the fact that the game was such a blowout, it probably wasn't a good indication of much. I'm assuming that MJD will be back in the mix next week, so I'm not seeing too much value in holding on to Murray.OAK rushed the ball 13 times vs. HOU and was essentially playing catch-up the entire game, I'm not surprised Murray only got a single carry. If OAK wasn't such a #### show I'd probably hold in FPC since the benches are so deep and he was essentially free.

Maurice Jones-Drew (hand surgery) "didn't sound optimistic" about playing in Week 3 when speaking to reporters on Monday.
The Raiders face the Patriots next. Jones-Drew has refused to provide details on his hand injury, and the Raiders laughably listed him as "questionable" on last Friday's injury report despite the fact that he never had any chance to play. If MJD can't go at New England, Darren McFadden would presumably continue to operate as Oakland's lead back. Latavius Murray got one touch in Week 2.
How much FAAB money did you waste on this guy that's making you so unreasonably salty?I'm calling it now. Murray will get 2 CARRIES!!!
How am I unreasonably salty? By saying he'll get 2 carries?? Why, hello Mr. Sensitive, how are you?How much FAAB money did you waste on this guy that's making you so unreasonably salty?I'm calling it now. Murray will get 2 CARRIES!!!
is there a reason that you think that will happen this week even though it didn't happen last week?Murray will get plenty of work in garbage time this week (beginning roughly at the 10:00 mark of the 1st Q).

Depends on your league. If you have a deep bench I would keep him just to see what the new coaches will do.MJD likely back. Safe to drop this guy in dynasty leagues?
McFadden is a FA next year, so even if they keep MJD, there's a decent chance that Murray becomes the primary backup. Of course they may bring in another RB, but if your bench is long enough, I'd consider hanging onto him until we find out the situation for next year.jonboltz, on 18 Sept 2014 - 6:36 PM, said:MJD likely back.

Or sooner.Hang on if you can. Jury still out whether or not MJD has anything left in the tank, and DMC is running harder than ever but right at people. Murray could be the defacto starter next season.
Those two are known quantities. And it's not good. They have to take a hard look at Murray sooner or later to see if he's the future. I'm betting on sooner.Have a feeling Sparano is the type of guy that thinks he can bring out the best in guys line McFadden and Drew. Get ready for some Ricky/Ronnie wildcard packages Raider fans!
Do they really know what they have in MJD? He looked good in the preaseason and then got hurt in week 1. Even with Murray on my taxi squad, I'd be interested to see what MJD could do as the lead dog there with Murray spelling him instead of McFadden.Those two are known quantities. And it's not good.

wowFood for thought.
Andre Ellington went a few picks after LM. Zac Stacy went after Tyler Wilson. Let's also not forget Eddy Lacy going after Melenik Watson. Thanks Reggie!
OK RN you convinced me with these actions in a redraft. Since Tate is back I'm dropping West for Murray.Just cut some deadwood off the end of my roster and added LM in three redraft leagues.
I think you'll regret that, personally. But I've never been a Murray guy. If Tate goes down again, you'll regret it big time.OK RN you convinced me with these actions in a redraft.

Not "if", but "when" Tate goes down again.I think you'll regret that, personally. But I've never been a Murray guy.

what are you basing this on?Or sooner.Hang on if you can. Jury still out whether or not MJD has anything left in the tank, and DMC is running harder than ever but right at people. Murray could be the defacto starter next season.
Common sense. And rumblings.Long Ball Larry said:what are you basing this on?Or sooner.Hang on if you can. Jury still out whether or not MJD has anything left in the tank, and DMC is running harder than ever but right at people. Murray could be the defacto starter next season.
Probably still trying to win games. Probably want to have the back that is most likely to not screw up any assignments, including missing a block that gets their new young QB killed.I dont understand how they start Carr and Mack and have a slight sign of a future, and roll out gimps like MJD and DMC at RB.
Go young!
Start Murray the rest of the year, see what you have. If he sucks, you can prepare to draft a RB next year. If he is a monster, then you know to look at OLine and defense.
That roster of theirs is awful.
I with you, my man! Li[SIZE=13.63636302948px]ke a baby needs a bottle, [/SIZE]I need Murray to emerge! MJD's play has been uninspiring, at best so the opportunity is there. If Murray emerges as the second coming of Jennins it would put me in the catbird's seat. Big If I know...Or sooner.Hang on if you can. Jury still out whether or not MJD has anything left in the tank, and DMC is running harder than ever but right at people. Murray could be the defacto starter next season.
judging by the lack of carries im guessing the coaching staff thinks hes almost worthlessI'm stunned by the lack of carries. I would like to see what this guy is worth, but getting tired of waiting.
