Marcel Reece to get carries Sunday?

With the news that Latavius Murray was ruled out for Sunday's game, head coach Tony Sparano was asked if Marcel Reece would receive carries. His response: "We'll see ... He ran the ball well. He should get carries." Reece was instrumental in last week's victory over the Chiefs. He filled in admirably for the injured Murray carrying the ball 8 times for 37 yards. (@VicTafur)
Fantasy Impact:
Marcel Reece should be the bell cow with Murray ruled out. When given the opportunity in the past, Reece has delivered. He is 6"1" 250lbs, runs a 4.42 40 yard dash and is an excellent pass catcher. I've always been baffled as to why he has never been given a chance to be the guy. The difference between he and DMC/MJD is night and day. The Raiders coaching staff was competent last week by giving Reece the ball. Can we count on 2 weeks of competence in a row? That's a tough call but I think they do the right thing.
