Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
He's #16 in mine, pretty standard scoring, but 6 points for all TD types (and only 10 teams, start 1 QB). He's tied at #16 with Winston (who has had his bye already), and 1 point behind Andy Dalton (who's been without his top WR all year).
I'm not sure he needs to in order to make that worth it. We're talking about a generational QB talent in Mahomes. I, too, traded a substantial amount of value to acquire Murray after our rookie draft(two QB league) and there is absolutely no buyer's remorse on my end. I've been thrilled with what I've seen so far, as he's been producing in spite of some questionable play-calling at times from his also rookie head coach.
Would you have taken him #1 overall in a ten team, start 1 QB league? Would you have traded up (with multiple first round picks) to get the #1 overall to do it? Cause that's what's happened in my league, and I'm still shaking my head at it.
3 scores, my bad. But shouldn't he be leaving Murray in there to gain the experience rather than simply waving the white flag ? The kid was the # 1 pick. Your starter from day 1. It seems highly inconsistent to have pulled him in that spot. Just my 2 cents of course.
It sounds like you guys are arguing with one or two outliers here (heck one of you is arguing with someone in your league, not even on this forum), not the majority of rational posters who all made the very fair point that Murray's rushing ability gave him a very high ceiling given that he's probably the best passing prospect we've seen out of a running QB.
A few weeks back, Kirk was hurt on the last play of a lost game and missed a few games because of it. As a Cardinals fan, I’m fine pulling Murray at that point.
I still would have lost this week anyway, but as a fantasy owner who made the mistake of starting him this week (my other options were seemingly worse), I was NOT fine with it. LOL.
I hope not - only because i think Jackson is going to get hurt. He's taking too many hits.
idk why he keeps coming back here other than the day after a bad game to say I told you so. It's clear that's all hes interested in. blocked him a while ago
I’m stuck starting him.. not expecting much at all. I’m looking forward to him facing the challenge though. I really like his future potential. Seems like someone who is easy to root for as well.
In the days where the NFL is very difficult to watch, he is a joy to watch play. I find myself streaming his games weekly
He does have great potential and he is really easy to root for. I've been riding with him since week 1 but the past 2 weeks have hurt. He hasn't been running as much which was what really helped is floor. I grabbed derek carr and am rolling with him just this week. If murray shows any signs this week of getting back to running, I'll most likely roll with him for the rest of the season. I believe it will be Mahomes, D.Jones, and Murray as the faces of the NFL in a few years.
I’m playing him over fitzmagic in a super flex. Main reason is I’m a degenerate and want some skin in the game. Seems like you guys love watching him, this is my first chance to see him in an entire game.
He has his issues but he is crazy illusive. He still makes rookie mistakes such as holding the ball to long or even 2 weeks ago he ran out of bound while trying to eat the clock. When he decides to run, very few can catch him. His baseball skills help him a lot like stafford throwing on the run. Biggest issue to his height that I've seen so far is balls batted at the line. It definitely is above average just don't know by how much.
hes got a little over 29 points for me
hope you watched the second half! and hope you've turned that frown upside downThanks buddy, I needed that. Watching him play tonight is like dying a slow death...
S.T.U.D.talking trash at halftime always backfires.
In my 4pt pass TD league the 49ers' defense has given up 17 total fantasy points to QBs in the last 5 weeks COMBINED, and has given up 48 fantasy points to QBs on the ENTIRE SEASON.
Kyler put up 21 against them tonight.
my comment was more directed to OKBoomer. Looks like it was a great game, wish I wasn't at work!hes got a little over 29 points for me
I didnt expect a big game but it looked like a trap game to me and I was thinking AZ had a shot, meaning murray had a shot
fun second half. AZ went no huddle/hurry up, ran some screens and qb designed runs and he looked really good. his pass to Isabella was a gem for gems
Hate being that "if you take away that one play" guy, cause I'm not typically a fan of this line of thinking, buttttttt..... 16-of-23 for 153 yards, 1 TD looks MUCH more pedestrian than the above line.
But there’s no reason to take away that play. It wasn’t luck. It was a perfect downfield pass and then relied on a playmaking WR with 4.3 speed to finish it up.
Generally speaking it usually is. Here it’s even worse because for what reason would we take away a play that was executed well and wasn’t blow coverage or missed tackles.
No problem if you make things up then I'll just say his defense actually got him the ball back instead of allowing the Niners to kill the clock that he made another 88 yard TD to pump up his stat line to 18 of 25 for 321 yards and 3 TDs but that is absurd to make things up when you look at what he actually did.
I agree, that 'take away one play' line of thinking is usually overblown. And also, yes I was quite impressed with Murray vs that Defense. Wasn't trying to take anything away from his performance, but just saying he pretty much got half of his stats in one play there.
I was expecting a 2-3 point game based on the last two performances and the SF defense.
He was so fast on that play. Agreed they should have him running more. He seems to be as fast as Lamar (I know neither ran 40 times), so more designed runs wouldn't be a bad idea.
