ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Kyler Murray struggled against the Lions last week, with 257 yards, a touchdown and a pick with only three rushing yards. Murray also completed a season-low 56.1% of his passes. The Cardinals’ offense has been struggling lately and was really disappointing against the Lions, but Murray ran for 61 and 59 yards in the previous two games, so there’s good reason to think it’s an aberration.

This week, Murray faces a Colts defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. It’s not a good matchup, but expect the Cardinals to come out motivated after falling asleep against the Lions. Murray’s dual-threat ability and pass-happy offense still make him a top fantasy option, and we have him ranked inside our top-five this week. Start him.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Detroit Lions

Kyler Murray threw a pair of interceptions and was sacked four times – three by Aaron Donald – in a loss to the Rams on Monday night, but he still managed a solid fantasy outing. He threw for 383 yards and ran for 61. He has two straight games with around 60 rushing yards, allowing him to make up for subpar passing numbers.

This week, Murray faces a Lions defense that ranks 16th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. While it hurts to not have DeAndre Hopkins in the lineup, Murray should still be considered an elite fantasy option. Start him every week, regardless of matchup.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Los Angeles Rams

It was good to see Kyler Murray back in action last week against the Bears. Not only did he return to the lineup, but he also returned looking healthier than he has since Week 4. He ran the ball 10 times for 59 yards and a pair of touchdowns, supplementing his 123 yards and two touchdowns through the air. Murray only had to throw the ball 15 times as the Cardinals dominated the game defensively.

This week, Murray faces a Rams defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. It has all the makings of a shootout, which should lead to significant fantasy production from both offenses. We have Murray ranked as an elite option and he should be active in all leagues.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Chicago Bears

Kyler Murray is expected to return this week after missing the past three games with injury. He returns to a Cardinals team that sits at 9-2 and has gone 2-1 in his absence. Murray has accounted for multiple touchdowns in all but two games this season, and his efficiency – 72.7% completion percentage – has helped him to QB1 numbers in most of his starts, even though he hasn’t been running as effectively over his past four games.

This week, Murray faces a Bears defense that ranks 28th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. With a good matchup, a clean bill of health, and the likely return of DeAndre Hopkins to the lineup as well, fantasy managers should feel good about putting Murray back into their lineups. We have him ranked just outside our top-five quarterbacks this week and he should be active in all leagues.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Seattle Seahawks

Kyler Murray has missed the last two matchups with an injury, and he’ll be a question mark again going into this week’s game against the Seahawks. He’s been great when he’s played this season, but with a late inactive status two weeks in a row, it’s hard to trust he’ll be active this week. Perhaps after Colt McCoy struggled so much against the Panthers, the Cardinals will be more motivated to get Murray back on the field.

The Seahawks rank 13th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks and did a pretty good job against the Packers last week, despite the terrible offensive showing. Still, the Cardinals have been taking it easy with Murray, so if he’s active, I think he’ll be safe to start. Just watch that injury report very carefully and make sure you have a backup option, just in case he’s a late scratch again.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at San Francisco 49ers

Kyler Murray had a rough outing in a tough loss against the Packers last week, throwing for 274 yards and a pair of interceptions. He also added 21 yards on the ground. The Cardinals scored three touchdowns, but all were in the run game. Still, Murray and the Arizona offense are worth betting on. Even if his rushing production doesn’t return to where it started the season, he’s still averaging 284.5 yards and 2.13 touchdowns per game through the air.

This week, he’ll face a 49ers defense that ranks 31st in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. The 49ers added some defensive line help at the trade deadline, but I would still expect the Cardinals to be able to move the ball, Murray’s production this season makes him worth starting in any matchup, and with how the 49ers have struggled, he should have success this week. Start him.

Update: Murray may give it a go, but it doesn't sound like the team is optimistic. Be sure to pivot to another option.

ARI QB Kyler Murray - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Green Bay Packers

Kyler Murray had a solid enough game against the Texans last week, tossing three touchdowns and one interception to go with 261 passing yards. Murray was held to just 10 rushing yards on six attempts, continuing his recent trend of minimal rushing production. After starting the season with three straight games with a rushing touchdown, he’s gone without over his last four. The passing production is still there, however, with seven touchdown passes over his last two weeks combined.

This week, Murray faces a Packers defense that ranks 27th in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. The Packers should keep the game more interesting than the Texans did, and expect lots of fireworks and another excellent fantasy outing. Start him as a top option in all formats.
