KylerMurray

News: 6 days agoMurray completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 220 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing seven times for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.

Spin: It was a tale of two halves for Murray, who had his team up comfortably going into the break but was barely clinging onto victory when time expired. An untimely interception to end a 70-yard drive in the fourth quarter played a huge role in letting Carolina back into this contest. It was Murray's first interception of the season to go along with his three passing touchdowns and 70 rushing yards through two starts in 2025. The dual-threat QB is shaping up to be a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option in a road matchup against a tough 49ers defense next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Murray is back for his seventh NFL season, fresh off a 2024 campaign that may have been his best yet. Murray appeared in every regular-season game for the first time since 2020 and delivered as both a passer (top 13 in attempts, completions, yards and TDs) and rusher (top 8 in carries, yards and TDs). Murray finished 12th among QBs in fantasy PPG, which is actually the <i>worst</i> finish of his career. He completed a career-high 69% of his passes despite a bit of an underwhelming showing from Marvin Harrison Jr. It's fair to expect a leap from Harrison in his second season, so, along with the presence of Trey McBride, Murray has the tools he needs for another mid-to-back-end QB1 fantasy campaign.
