Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Kyler Murray

Monday, January 6, 4:38 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz completed 10 of 17 pass attempts (59%) for 98 yards in the 38-0 loss to the Denver Broncos. Wentz was tasked with leading the Kansas City offense without Patrick Mahomes but could not find the endzone. The Chiefs only had 33 total plays in Week 18, compared to 72 for the Broncos. The veteran quarterback managed to stay turnover-free in this contest, but that's the only positive to take from this game. With Mahomes resting multiple weeks between games, Wentz will likely not be asked to start more games. The Chiefs will play the winner of the wildcard matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans. Wentz will likely find himself back on the bench when the next Chiefs game takes place.

When asked if quarterback Kyler Murray would be the team's starter in 2025, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said, "100 percent," on Burns And Gambo. "He's a top-level, franchise quarterback," Gannon said. Although he led the Cardinals to an 8-9 record and no playoff appearance, Murray did throw for 3,851 yards -- the second-highest total of his career -- 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 starts. His 572 rushing yards -- he added five touchdowns on the ground -- ranked fourth among all QBs in 2024. The 27-year-old isn't going anywhere heading into the second year of a five-year, $230.5 million extension that he signed in July of 2022. Arizona should keep most of their skill players on offense, but Murray will need to establish more chemistry with first-round wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. to take a step forward for the Cardinals and fantasy managers that make him their QB1.
