Jonathan Gannon announces Kyler Murray will start for the Cardinals Sunday vs the Falcons.

Related players: Clayton Tune

There is a catch however as the post went on to say: IF all goes well in practice this week. But keep in mind Murray has been practicing since his window opened. Gannon says Murray will take the reps with starters this week, so barring a setback, it will be Murray in Week 10.

The Falcons will keep things status quo at quarterback for at least another week.

Head coach Arthur Smith announced at his Monday press conference that Taylor Heinicke will start for the team against the Cardinals in Week 10.

“Taylor gives us the best chance, with everything going on right now,” Smith said, via Scott Bair of the team’s website. The story added that Smith said the team will reassess the position after the Week 11 bye.

The Falcons made a starting quarterback change in Week 9 and they could make another one in Week 10.

Taylor Heinicke got the start for Sunday’s game against the Vikings after playing the second half of the team’s Week 8 loss to the Titans and he went 21-of-38 for 268 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

After the loss, HC Arthur Smith was asked if he was going to name Heinicke the starter for the Falcons’ Week 10 game against the Cardinals. “Not right now,” Smith said, via the team’s website. “We have to get back to evaluate. I’m not going to give some answer when we haven’t sat back and looked at everything.” Smith has at least left the door open to go back to Ridder.

The Cardinals will start Clayton Tune at quarterback Sunday against the Browns.

Tune will become the 9th rookie to start a game this season. Kyler Murray could be getting close to a return and was listed as questionable for the game. This after the Cardinals traded Josh Dobbs to the Vikings earlier this week. Tune threw for over 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns in his final year at Houston. The Cardinals drafted Tune in the 5th round in April.

Cardinals are listing RB Emari Demercado as out for Sunday’s game at Cleveland, and QB Kyler Murray as questionable.

Being that Williams has only logged snaps in three games since signing with Arizona, one would assume that Ingram will be the lead back on Sunday. Regardless, nether should be started in fantasy leagues.

Jonathan Gannon says they haven’t decided who will start for the Cardinals at QB vs Browns Sunday. He said they’ll likely decide on the plane today or tomorrow whether it’s Kyler Murray or Clayton Tune. Said they’ve had a good week of practice.

The prevailing thought is that the team is going to wait another week on Kyler, but it doesn't look like it's 100% decided yet. If Murray gets the nod, it might be best to wait a week to start him in fantasy.

A new QB in Atlanta: Falcons’ HC Arthur Smith named Taylor Heinicke as the starting QB for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings.

Maybe a change at the helm will force the team's hand into using their three top-10 offensive weapons. Heinicke should be left off of fantasy radars until we see what the Falcons look like with a full game of him at QB.

According to multiple reports, however, the team is planning to have Clayton Tune start the game against the Browns. It would be the second regular season appearance for Tune after he threw one pass for four yards on a fake punt in Week 7.

Related players: Joshua Dobbs, Kyler Murray

This story has been a bit confusing over the past 24 hours. What we do know is Dobbs isn't starting, so it will be Tune or Murray. But reports are saying Murray may not be ready, and if that's the case, Tune will get the start. However, the story went on to say Gannon said the team was working through scenarios that could include Murray being active as Tune’s backup if he doesn’t get the starting nod, so a lot of the picture still needs to be filled in before the Cardinals get to Cleveland in Week 9.

Week 9 might be Kyler Murray time.

After Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Joshua Dobbs would remain the team’s starter for their game in Cleveland but Gannon reversed course on Monday. Gannon said that Murray or rookie Clayton Tune will get the start at quarterback against the Browns.

The story went on to say Gannon said he changed his mind about sticking with Dobbs after watching film of Sunday’s loss and that Murray will get the start as long as the team feels he’s healthy enough to go. Murray remains on the PUP list after tearing his ACL last season, but he has been on the practice field and is participating fully in the team’s workouts, the story went on to say. It seems like everything should point to Murray here, but it's obviously something to keep a close eye on until it's official. It's not a great matchup, but if Murray is still on your wire he should be added.

Arthur Smith said he’ll announce on Wednesday who his starter is against Minnesota.

“I promise you, I’ll come in on Wednesday and tell you who’s starting,” Smith said, via Tori McElhaney of the Falcons.

Asked if Ridder would start assuming he’s 100 percent healthy, Smith answered, “I have to see where he’s at.” Heinicke came off the bench and played better than Ridder did, which would seem to indicate that Heinicke also gives the Falcons the better chance to beat the Vikings on Sunday, the story concluded. But Smith has invested a lot of time in developing Ridder and has indicated that he believes in Ridder going forward, and he may not be ready to bench his young quarterback just yet, the story added.
