Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Kyler Murray

Friday, October 4, 4:35 PM

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will travel to London to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Rodgers has been steady, yet unspectacular, from a fantasy perspective this season, throwing for 849 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception over four games. The Vikings have been solid against quarterbacks this season despite allowing Jordan Love to rack up big stats in comeback mode last week. Overall, Minnesota is allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, although that number is skewed by the four-touchdown game by Love last week. Rodgers sets up as a mid-range QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 5's matchup against Minnesota. Fantasy managers relying on Jets and Vikings players will want to set their lineups early as the London game kicks off at 9:30 AM EST.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the passing attack have cooled off a bit after a strong start. In Week 5, the Cardinals will travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers, ranked 11th against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. In last week's loss to the Washington Commanders, Murray struggled, failing to break 200 passing yards and only running the ball once. While this performance raises some concerns, it's not time to bench him in fantasy just yet. He remains one of the most explosive players on the field, with the potential for big fantasy outings. Despite his recent struggles, he has done an excellent job protecting the ball all season, with only one turnover. As significant underdogs against the 49ers, if the Cardinals fall behind and need to shift to a pass-heavy offense, Murray can quickly rack up fantasy points. He should be considered a low-end QB1 in Week 5.
