Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Kyler Murray

Thursday, October 30, 4:17 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday after being held out of practice on Wednesday due to a thumb injury. Dalton started in place of Bryce Young (ankle) in Carolina's Week 8 game against the Buffalo Bills and struggled, completing 16 of 24 pass attempts for 175 yards and an interception. Young has logged two straight full practices heading into Friday, so he appears to be tracking towards returning in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. If neither Dalton nor Young were available to play, veteran journeyman Mike White would likely get the start. Fantasy managers should likely avoid whoever the Panthers' starting quarterback is in Week 9, given the difficult matchup on the road in Green Bay.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Murray was limited in practice for the second straight day as he recovers from a foot injury that has already sidelined him for two games, but head coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday that the team is planning for him to start Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. There have also been reports of Murray and backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett splitting reps with Arizona's primary pass catchers, so it is still uncertain as to who the Cardinals' signal caller will be in Dallas on Monday Night Football. Murray is familiar with playing at AT&T Stadium and would be set up with a pristine matchup if he were to make his return in Week 9, as the Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
