Gannon: QB Kyler Murray 'leaps and bounds ahead' of last year

Aug 20, 2024

“I think from a mental and physical standpoint, right now where [Kyler Murray is] at, to even when he got back last year or even where he finished last year, I think he’s leaps and bounds ahead,” Jonathan Gannon said to Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio.

Fantasy Impact:

Gannon’s first year in Arizona was made more difficult by Murray’s return from the torn ACL he suffered during the 2023 season, the story said. So, Murray had to spend last summer rehabbing and missed the first part of the season. This summer has been much smoother, the story pointed out, and Murray can focus on football vs. rehabbing. As a result, Murray is seventh on our QB list.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
