Scouting report

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Philadelphia Eagles

Kyler Murray hasn’t been great since returning from injury, but he also hasn’t been bad, despite the Cardinals’ 2-4 record with him under center this year. He has nine touchdowns - including three on the ground - and four interceptions, and he averages 31.2 yards per game rushing. Murray had 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns in garbage time in the loss to the Bears last week, salvaging what was looking like a pretty ugly fantasy day.

This week, Murray faces a Philadelphia defense that ranks 26th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. The Eagles should be able to put points on the board against the Arizona defense, so Murray has more garbage-time stat potential this week. Murray’s additional production on the ground gives him a higher floor than your average quarterback, and Murray should be considered a fringe-QB1 option in a nice matchup.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Chicago Bears

Kyler Murray struggled along with the rest of the Cardinals in a lopsided loss to the 49ers last week, as Arizona got down early and never really recovered. Murray wound up with 211 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions to go with 49 rushing yards. Murray hasn’t scored a rushing touchdown in either of his past two games after scoring one in each of his previous three, but he’s had 15 rushing attempts in that span. He continues to be a threat on the ground.

This week, Murray faces a Chicago defense that ranks third in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. It’s a tough matchup and his weapons are pretty much all nicked up - aside from phenomenal tight end Trey McBride - so fantasy managers should take a cautious approach with the dual-threat standout. We have him ranked as a fringe-QB1 option.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Kyler Murray was held to just 145 yards and a touchdown in a victory over the Steelers before the bye last week. He added 20 yards on nine rushing attempts, providing plenty of upside for the future, but it was a disappointing fantasy outing overall for the dual-threat quarterback.

This week, Murray faces a San Francisco defense that ranks second in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. In a tough matchup, consider Murray a fringe QB1 or solid QB2 option this week, despite the upside he always has as a rusher.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Cardinals got destroyed last week by the Rams, but Kyler Murray still put in a decent fantasy performance. He threw for 256 yards and a touchdown, and he added a touchdown on the ground. While he only had one rushing attempt for two yards after 84 rushing yards over his previous two starts, it was good to see him find the end zone. He now has three rushing touchdowns in three starts since returning from injury.

This week, Murray faces a Pittsburgh defense that ranks 23rd in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. Expect another busy day for Murray with a better-than-average shot at another rushing touchdown. His rushing production gives him a high floor each week, and managers can consider him a fringe-QB1 option this week.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Kyler Murray threw for 214 yards, a touchdown, and a pick last week against the Texans. He added 51 yards and a touchdown on the ground, turning in a quality fantasy outing. He’s had a rushing touchdown in each of his two games back from injury, giving him a high floor in fantasy leagues. Murray looks healthy and unafraid to use his legs, rushing for 84 yards on 13 carries in his two starts.

This week, Murray faces a Rams defense that ranks 18th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. Murray’s ability to add rushing production to his passing totals gives him a high fantasy floor in this divisional matchup. As such, we have him ranked inside our top 10 fantasy quarterbacks this week, and managers can safely start him in all formats.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Houston Texans

Kyler Murray returned to action last week for the first time this season and looked very much like the version of him we saw before his injury late last season. He threw for 249 yards and a pick, but he also ran for 33 yards and a touchdown, leading the Cardinals to a close victory over the Falcons.

This week, Murray has a great matchup against a Houston defense that ranks 27th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks and has been involved in consecutive shootouts the last two weeks. Murray looks healthy and ready to resume his role as a top-level fantasy producer, and we have him ranked as a QB1 this week. Start him.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Kyler Murray is expected to return to action this week after missing most of this season with a torn ACL he suffered toward the end of last year. Time will tell how much Murray can return to adding rushing totals to his passing production following a severe knee injury, but he has to be an upgrade over what Clayton Tune provided last week.

Murray gets a nice matchup to ease himself back into the lineup. The Falcons rank 27th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks and just allowed the fantasy QB4 performance to Joshua Dobbs. As long as there are no setbacks, in a nice matchup with solid weapons around him, Murray should be considered a fringe-QB1 option this week.
