Kyler Murray Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) will not need surgery on the ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 17 loss to the Rams, but he is still feeling sore, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Murray had to leave the regular season finale on Sunday in the first quarter and finished 8-for-11 for 87 yards while running the ball only two times for three yards in the 18-7 loss. The second-year signal-caller also battled through a shoulder injury in the second half of the season, which slowed him down. The 23-year-old finished the 2020 campaign with 3,971 yards, 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions on 558 attempts while adding 133 carries for 819 yards and an additional 11 touchdowns on the ground. Despite the disappointing finish, Murray is an athletic and explosive dual-threat QB that will once again have high-end QB1 value heading into the 2021 season.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) left Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams early in the first quarter after suffering an injury to his right ankle. Backup quarterback Chris Streveler took over for the next two-plus quarters before Murray returned to start the fourth quarter. As a result, Murray ended up with a quiet stat-line. He completed eight of 11 passes for 87 yards and he rushed for just three yards. He was unable to score in the game. Murray had a strong fantasy season overall, despite an uneven performance down the stretch. He had 819 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns on the year. He should be one of the first quarterbacks drafted in fantasy leagues next year after Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are off the board.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (leg/ankle) got back onto the field for the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest versus the Rams. Murray left back in the first due to a leg/ankle ailment and was favoring the injured body part during his first handful of snaps back on the field. Without Murray under center, Arizona turned to Chris Streveler at QB, who went 9-for-13 for 77 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Cardinals need a victory Sunday to advance to the postseason, although if Murray is able to pitch a comeback, fantasy managers will want to monitor his injury status closely.
