Kyler Murray Records First 300 Yard Passing Game Of The Season

Sunday, October 27, 9:46 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray threw for over 300 yards for the first time this season in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins. Murray's official stat line included 26 completions on 36 attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns while adding 19 yards on the ground. He played his best game of the season so far and orchestrated a game-winning drive that set up Chad Ryland to hit the walk-off field goal. While Murray didn't have as many designed runs in previous weeks, this was primarily due to the Dolphins' ability to stop the run and the Cardinals' shift to a pass-first offense, which should not concern fantasy managers. Murray remains a starting fantasy quarterback as the Cardinals take on the Bears in Week 9.

C.J. Stroud Faces Difficult Circumstances In Week 9

Wednesday, October 30, 4:30 PM

Bad luck and bad timing make Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud tough to start in one-QB formats on Thursday against the New York Jets. Despite the Jets being dysfunctional, even for them, they rank second in the NFL in yards after catch allowed and tied for third with six passing touchdowns surrendered in eight games. New York boasts two excellent coverage corners in Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed, and Houston will face them when top wide receivers Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee) are on injured reserve. Backup wide receivers, a short week, and a bad matchup is a lot to dislike, so fantasy managers should strongly consider their other options in Week 9.
