KylerMurray

News: 2 days agoMurray completed 19 of 32 passes for 249 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and also had six carries for 33 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 25-23 win against the Falcons.

Spin: In his first game action in exactly 11 months, Murray looked like his normal dynamic self, especially on back-to-back scrambles late in the first half that culminated with a six-yard TD run. He also displayed an impressive rapport with second-year tight end Trey McBride, who hauled in eight of nine targets for 131 yards. Now that he's proved the health of his right knee following last season's ACL tear, Murray will set his sights on next Sunday's road matchup with a Texans defense that has given up the eighth-highest yards per attempt (7.5) to opposing quarterbacks in the current campaign.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Murray is back as the starter in Arizona, but he tore his ACL in Week 14 last season and could miss several games to begin the 2023 season. Murray's efficiency plummeted last season (his 6.1 YPA ranked 39th out of 41 qualified QBs), but he remained a solid fantasy starter (sixth in points per game) thanks to his usual high-end rushing ability. Murray ranked no lower than fifth at QB in carries, rushing yards and rushing TDs during each of his first three seasons and was top 10 in all three last season despite playing only 11 games. Murray's dual-threat ability locks him into the weekly QB1 mix when fully healthy, but the strong possibility of missed games (perhaps a significant amount) makes him worthy of no more than a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.
