ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Kyler Murray salvaged an otherwise terrible fantasy day with a rushing touchdown last week, but 163 passing yards and a pick is very concerning for fantasy owners looking toward the playoffs. Murray’s floor is high because of his work on the ground, but he doesn’t have the easiest schedule over the rest of the season, so fantasy owners should be wary of trusting him for the stretch run.

This week, he faces a Steelers defense that ranks fourth in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks this season and just held the Browns to 13 points and Baker Mayfield to 196 yards. Murray should be started with caution as a QB2 or a fringe QB1 this week in a tough matchup, and fantasy owners with better options should look elsewhere if possible.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Kyler Murray only threw for 150 yards against the 49ers before the bye last week, but he threw a pair of touchdowns and added 67 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Murray has accounted for multiple touchdowns in three straight contests now and he leads the team in rushing with 418 yards. Murray has shown flashes of the type of dual-threat quarterback he can be throughout the year and the team has been super competitive in the past three games, losing them by a combined 16 points.

This week, Murray faces a Rams defense that ranks 20th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks this year and just got torched by the Ravens for five touchdown passes. Expect a lot of offense in this game with Murray likely to put up big numbers. The Cardinals can’t stop anyone and their passing game has looked alive as the season has progressed. That should mean good things for Murray, who should be active in all lineups.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at San Francisco 49ers

Kyler Murray was excellent in a close loss to the Buccaneers last week, throwing for 324 yards, three touchdowns and a pick. He also added 38 yards on the ground. Murray is on pace for 562 yards rushing this season and he’s accounted for five touchdowns over his past two weeks. His ability to supplement his passing totals with rushing production gives him a high fantasy floor each week, and he’s a viable weekly starter because of it.

This week, Murray faces a 49ers defense that has been elite all season but just gave up a pair of touchdowns to Murray two weeks ago. Still, the pressure Murray is likely to face from an elite front-four makes him a little riskier than usual. We have him ranked outside our top-10 this week, making him a viable QB2 or a fringe starter in most leagues.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kyler Murray did better than expected against a tough 49ers defense. The Cardinals still lost a close game, but Murray finished with 241 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception. He also added 34 yards on the ground, turning in a nice day overall. Murray hasn’t lit the world on fire this year, but he’s been a steady option and has 313 yards and two touchdowns rushing on the season, giving him a high floor in most weeks.

This week, Murray should excel against a terrible Tampa Bay defense. The Buccaneers have been surprisingly stout against the run, but they rank 30th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks this year and just allowed five touchdown passes to Russell Wilson on Sunday. Murray should be active in all leagues and has top-level fantasy upside this week.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Kyler Murray has struggled two weeks in a row for two very different reasons. In Week 7, he struggled against the Giants as the Cardinals emphasized the running game to a fairly easy victory. Last week, he went up against a tough Saints defense and was held to a 57.6% completion rate on his way to 220 yards. The Cardinals failed to score a touchdown and lost their backup running back to injury in the process.

This week, Murray faces an even larger challenge against a dominant 49ers defense. They forced Kyle Allen into three interceptions last week and they rank first in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks this season. Murray’s ability to run makes him safer than Allen was last week, but fantasy owners should stay away if possible.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at New Orleans Saints

Kyler Murray had a terrible fantasy game against the Giants last week, throwing for only 104 yards as the Cardinals ran all over the defense in a win. Murray added only 28 yards on the ground for easily his worst fantasy performance of the season. He remains a dual-threat option with excellent upside in any given week, however, as he’s run the ball at least 10 times in three straight games.

This week, the Cardinals are unlikely to abandon the passing game against a tougher Saints team. New Orleans is one of the best teams in the league at 6-1 and have won five straight games. They put up 36 points on the Bears last week and should have no trouble carving up the Cardinals’ 28th-ranked scoring defense. Expect Murray to throw a lot and to be a quality option in all fantasy leagues. We have him as a low-end QB1 starter.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Giants

Kyler Murray torched the Falcons last week. He threw for 340 yards and three touchdowns, adding 32 yards on the ground, and obtaining his second career victory. Murray has been exciting to watch and has benefited from facing poor teams in two consecutive games. His ability to run the ball and his high number of pass attempts – fifth in the league – give him considerable upside every game.

This week, Murray faces a Giants defense that ranks 27th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks and allowed a pair of rushing touchdowns to Tom Brady last week. Murray should light up this defense and is a top option in all league formats as a QB1.
