Kyler Murray Remains a Deep-League Add Despite Underwhelming Start

Tuesday, October 6, 12:11 PM

Since returning from the concussion that knocked him out of his team's season opener, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray has thrown for 415 yards, one touchdown, and one interception across two games. Murray has not quite gotten going as a rusher yet either, recording 33 rushing yards on eight carries. While the 29-year-old's production has not been particularly useful for fantasy managers just yet, there's some reason to believe better days could be ahead. For one, Murray has barely shared the field with star Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson (ankle), who could return in the team's Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Murray could also start using his legs more as he gets further removed from the concussion. In his last fully healthy season in 2024, Murray recorded 572 rushing yards and five touchdowns over 17 games. In deeper league formats, Murray remains a viable quarterback streamer for fantasy managers heading into Week 5.

Bo Nix Says Ankle Injury Isn't Impacting His Performance

Sunday, October 4, 4:54 PM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was asked if his ankle injury is inhibiting him at all following their Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Nix gave a quick and blunt answer, "No", per Zac Stevens. Nix hasn't been himself this season, with 605 passing yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions through four games this season. He underwent surgery last January to repair a fractured right ankle that he suffered during a playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills. It's a fair question to ask if the ankle is bothering him, but Nix is always going to say he's fine. Fantasy managers can hope for better days ahead versus the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5.
