Fantasy Impact:
With the release of Darren McFadden and the retirement news of MJD, the Raiders currently have one running back on the roster, Latavius Murray.

Before we anoint him the next fantasy stud, we must wait to see what GM McKenzie does to address the position in free agency and the draft.
