Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is a top-five quarterback play when the Cardinals travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers. Murray hasn't lit up the box score in recent weeks, but his Week 15 performance against the Patriots was a step toward returning to his usual output. He kept the ball clean last week, ending his streak of three games with a turnover. The Panthers' defense ranks 27th in points allowed to opposing quarterbacks in fantasy. It will be a colder game in Carolina, which could be an adjustment for the Cardinals' offense, but Murray has played well in cold games throughout his career. The matchup with the Panthers' defense and Murray's rushing ability make him a desirable start in fantasy in Week 16.

Kyler Murray Finishes Game After Exiting In The Third Quarter
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray finished the game after leaving in the third quarter due to a hit to the head in the 30-17 win over the New England Patriots. Murray had a solid day in the win, but he did not record a touchdown, which limited his fantasy output. Murray's official stat line was 23-for-30 for 224 passing yards and he added five carries for 11 rushing yards. The Cardinals offense got a much-needed bounce-back win, scoring 30 points in the Week 15 triumph. However, all those touchdowns came on the ground. The Cardinals' passing attack is still working out the kinks after the bye week, but Sunday's performance was a step in the right direction. The Cardinals will travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers in Week 16, where Murray should be able to move the ball through the air.

Kyler Murray Should Have A Solid Advantage In Week 15
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray ranks between QB6 and QB10 in Week 15 when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots. Murray and the Cardinals' passing attack should have the advantage in this matchup, as the Patriots rank in the middle of the pack against the pass. The Patriots also rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Murray's interceptions have cost the Cardinals in their last three games, and they have lost three straight. However, Murray and the Cardinals' passing game should be due for a much-needed bounce-back against the struggling Patriots.

Kyler Murray Throws Two Interceptions In Week 14 Loss
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray delivered an average fantasy performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks. Murray's official stat line was 25 completions on 38 attempts for 259 yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also adding 16 rushing yards. Murray's interception struggles since the bye week continued in this game, as he threw interceptions on back-to-back passes in the first quarter, making it challenging for the Cardinals to stay competitive. Despite keeping the ball clean through the first 10 weeks of the season, Murray has thrown at least one interception in each of his last three games, more than doubling his season total. However, Murray was still able to bounce back from the two interceptions, and the Cardinals' offense looked better in the second half. It was just a little too late for the Cardinals in this matchup. The Cardinals will host the New England Patriots in a Week 15 game, giving Murray great bounce-back potential.

Kyler Murray Is A High-End QB1 In Week 14
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be considered a high-end quarterback play in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. This matchup will be the season's biggest game for the Cardinals as they position themselves to try to reach the playoffs. With the stakes of this game as high as they get for a regular-season matchup, we can expect the Cardinals' offense to completely empty the playbook, which would include utilizing Murray's rushing ability. Murray has struggled in his last two games, especially in their previous matchup against the Seahawks, making him due for a huge bounce-back. The offense made strides a week ago but settled for too many field goals to get the win. With the expected increase in rushing and a sense of urgency from the Cardinals, fantasy managers should trust Murray in the starting lineup.

Kyler Murray Has An Average Day In Week 13
Quarterback Kyler Murray had an average fantasy outing in the Week 13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Murray completed 31 of his 45 passing attempts for 260 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Murray also ran the ball seven times for 48 yards. This marks back-to-back weeks in which Murray has thrown an interception, an issue he will need to address as the Cardinals continue their playoff push. Despite two subpar performances, fantasy managers should not be discouraged from starting him moving forward. The Cardinals will face the Seattle Seahawks in an important Week 14 matchup that could decide the winner of the NFC West.

Kyler Murray Is A Low-End QB1 In Week 14
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is a low-end QB1 in Week 14 as the Cardinals travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. It was tough sledding for Murray and the Cardinals offense in Seattle a week ago. The Cardinals failed to produce a touchdown, and Murray threw a momentum-shifting pick-six that set the Cardinals' comeback hopes back by a large margin. However, the Cardinals' offense should return to its usual form this week. The Vikings' stout defense presents a challenge for the Cardinals' passing attack, but this is a unit that has earned its trust. The matchup makes Murray a low-end QB start, but he should still be started in Week 14.

Kyler Murray Fails To Reach End Zone In Week 12 Loss
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray failed to find the end zone through the air or on the ground in a 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals' offense lacked consistency all day and couldn't convert enough third downs to score any touchdowns. Although the offense moved the ball more effectively in the second half, Murray ended up with 285 yards passing, but a backbreaking interception returned for a touchdown limited the Cardinals' chances of taking the lead. The Cardinals will travel to Minnesota next week to face the stout Vikings defense, which could lower expectations for Murray, though he should still be started in most league formats.

Kyler Murray Is A Must-Start QB1 In Week 12
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be viewed as a high-end QB1 in fantasy football for Week 12. The Cardinals are coming off a bye week and will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in an important divisional matchup. Murray has been playing some of his best football recently, and the Cardinals' offense is operating at one of the highest levels in the NFL. The Seahawks' defense has been inconsistent this season and ranks in the middle of the pack, 19th, against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. The Cardinals are coming off two impressive blowout victories, where Murray's rushing ability wasn't needed to secure the win. However, in what should be a closely contested divisional game, you can expect the Cardinals to give Murray more rushing responsibilities. Fantasy managers should have full confidence in Murray as their starting quarterback this week.

Kyler Murray Puts Together MVP-Caliber Performance In Week 10
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was sensational in the Cardinals' 31-6 victory over the New York Jets. Murray's official stat line was 22/24 for 266 passing yards and one passing touchdown while adding 21 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Murray had very few negative plays and operated the Cardinals' offense with elite efficiency, helping to end the game early. Murray and rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. got back on track, connecting for a 9-yard touchdown reception. With the Cardinals' offense firing on all cylinders and a favorable upcoming schedule, Kyler Murray is a must-start for the foreseeable future. However, fantasy managers must look to other options in Week 11, when the Cardinals are on a bye.
