Should You Start or Sit Kyler Murray in Week 6?
We are five weeks into this season and I’m not the least bit confident that we know what we are going to get in this spot.
On one hand, the Colts have crippled poor opposing quarterbacks (Tua Tagovailoa, Cam Newton, and Geno Smith are of no real interest to us and they averaged 7.7 fantasy points against Indy), but on the other, we’ve seen Bo Nix (20.2) and Matthew Stafford (27.4) have success.
Which bucket does Kyler Murray get placed into?
Your instinct wants to say the latter, and the numbers suggest the latter.
Arizona has already played New Orleans, Carolina, and Tennessee, all of whom figure to be in the mix for the top overall pick this spring.
Murray’s next finish for a week better than QB12 will be his first.
“Outlook not so clear”.
He’s reached 25 rushing yards in every game this season and has a 30+ yard completion in four of five. That potential is something we are aware of and that’s why he’s in the QB1 mix, but I can’t just erase what we’ve seen thus far, and that is why he’s my QB2 in this game and also checks in behind a pocket-locked Matthew Stafford (at BAL).
