If you are a favorite take Purdy and an underdog take Kyler. Kyler doesn’t need to light up the scoreboard unlike Purdy because he has a high rushing floor

QB Kyler Murray, ARZ (1 Viewer)

I'm playing Howell over Kyler. Howell has put together a couple of good games and I'd rather see Murray play first. I think both have decent matchups, I'll want to see what FBGs says about that though.
On a week with so many QB's on bye and injuries...hell yes. When you are choosing between him and the likes of Dobbs or Baker....

A fair amount of confidence, yes. It looks like he's had two full weeks of practice before this week. He got all the first team reps this week. The Cardinals offense has looked somewhat decent this year up to now - at least it's not like last year's dumpster fire.
I also get the feeling Kyler has a completely different approach to this year. He always seemed to be stand-offish with his teammates in the past. This year he's been like a super charged cheerleader on the sidelines. Of course that doesn't mean he's any better at watching film, but hopefully that part has changed too.
I'm quite comfortable thinking he'll be a top 12 QB this week, especially at home against the Falcons defense. If he had started last week on the road against the Browns defense, I would not have wanted to start him at all, and would have ranked him well outside the top 20.

It’s truly a hilarious coincidence that the new Call of Duty comes out the weekend he’s coming back

Id rather start Dobbs

Start him with confidence? No.
But you can sure as hell start him.
Yeah but I’ve only heard bad things about this one so Kyler should be totally focused on football.

New game sucks from what the interwebs are saying. So maybe he gets some sleep Saturday.

Started the year with only Anthony Richardson on the roster, and have been riding the Bakers and the Minshews since.
Not confident in Murray in the first game back, but without a Top 6 or whatever option, I kind of don't care.
It's either lightning in a bottle or just a dude. Just a dude is what half of fantasy teams are starting at QB anyway.
I'd much rather roll the dice on Murray than fool with a Russ/Carr type.

Russ is 1 of only 4 QB's averaging 2 passing TD's per game (Tua, Allen, Cousins)

I could certainly be wrong on Russ and Monday looks to be a great matchup, but I'm okay accepting that risk.
Oct 1st is the last time he threw 200 yards in a game.

Russ was absolutely awful last season but has played better this season. No idea if he can get back to being a very good QB but it looks possible.

Watched a good chunk of the game. He moved just fine. A bit rusty maybe with some odd choices.
Offensive scheme looks good. ATL kind of sucks too though.

Hmmm....Dobbs may be the best of the 3 after all! Or he just may be on a mini hot streak. Dobbs has the best surrounding crew. I think Arizona has the best remaining schedule and Washington probably has the worst, including weeks 16-17 of @NYJ & SF. Howell and Kyler also have the same wk 14 bye. All that seems to point to picking up Dobbs & dropping Howell (carrying 3 QBs is not an option), but boy, that's a tough one. Need to decide by tomorrow as Dobbs will probably be gone after then.

I was looking at the same 3 last night. I have Mahommes but I want insurance going into the playoffs. My league has a rule that closes the waiver wire when playoffs start. Yes their have been some agonizing super bowls due to injuries.

From the article:
"A lot of people keep saying, 'Oh he's a better leader now' this and that, I just think people … I don't want to get too much into it," Murray said. "But the light's different right now. People around me, teammates, everybody, it's just a different energy."
Translation:
"Well, Kingsbury was a deusche, and held us back."

Back up QB who came in for a sneak on the goal line and scored. I’m assuming they would do it again given Kylers small stature. Still like what Kyler can do with his legs though, it just might not happen on QB sneaks
Agree they won't let Kyler do that move - but they could leave Murray in to hand it off. Or fake handoff and he throws a TD -- or scrambles and ends up with a rushing TD after all...?

As a James Conner owner? Maybe? As a Kyler Murray owner? Hell no.
1. Murray is tiny, I don't want him running Hurts/Allen type sneaks.
2. Murray scored on the ground in the red zone, anyway.
3. Murray looked great, much better than I believed was possible coming into a new offense cold of a torn ACL.
Looking more and more like Murray was worth the #1 after all. Kingsbury is just another failed college coach in a long line of them.

Nice to see he has had a big attitude adjustment. Hope it continues, and wasn't just a temporary tactic to dissuade Arizona from drafting a QB with their high 1st round pick.

Droppable in redraft leagues. Brutal playoff schedule ahead and he's not getting it done in FF.
The Bears and Eagles is brutal?

On the road.
Bears defense improved to be startable in fantasy. Eagles, like most teams, are much better at home.

Flacco just threw for 374 yrds vs the Bears, and Philly has one of the worst pass Ds in the league
Drake Hater
Footballguy
Bears defense had 3 picks, 4 sacks and a TD on the road. Philly may be a pass funnel but can Kyler take advantage? I've seen nothing to indicate he can. I think he's a fade to outright cut at this point.
