First things first … Latavius Murray says he’s NOT replacing Adrian Peterson in Minnesota. You can’t replace a legend. 

That said, LM says if you get the chance to draft him in your fantasy league … DO IT!!!! 

The Vikings running back tells TMZ Sports he’s fired up to get on the field with his new squad — and promises to be your secret weapon when it comes to punishing your FF opponents. 

“Draft me man … ’cause I’m a guy that has a nose for the end zone and I’m gonna continue to do that and do all I can to put them points on the board!”

SOLD! 

Latavius also has some thoughts on his former squad, the Oakland Raiders, moving to Vegas — and explains why he’s not worried one bit.
