Byron Murphy Jr. Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals defensive back Byron Murphy (back) is expected to suit up for the Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The stud defensive back is listed as questionable, but it sounds like there's a good chance that he'll play. That is good news for the Cardinals defense. The former second round pick has 29 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and two passes defended through seven games. His return would make the Cardinals defense a much more appealing streaming option.

The Arizona Cardinals placed cornerback Byron Murphy and linebacker Devon Kennard on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. The Cardinals announced that two of their players tested positive over the weekend during their bye week, and now we know that it was Murphy and Kennard. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury isn't worried about the team having more positive COVID-19 tests throughout the week, and their Week 9 game scheduled against the Dolphins should be played this Sunday. However, the Cardinals Defense is unlikely to have Murphy or Kennard on the field against Miami and rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
