Who Should I Start? Kyler Murray or Drake London

Monday, October 20, 7:49 PM

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon reiterated on Monday that quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will be the team's starting QB when he is healthy, but it's "too early to say" whether he'll be ready to return coming out of the bye to face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. A mid-foot sprain has kept Murray out of the Cardinals' last two games, and although backup Jacoby Brissett has played well in his two spot starts, the team isn't ready to bench the struggling Murray. The 28-year-old Murray gives the Cardinals' offense more options because of his rushing abilities, but he has mostly underwhelmed in his five starts in 2025, failing to go over 220 yards passing in any game while tossing only six touchdowns and three interceptions. Meanwhile, Brissett has thrown for 599 yards, four TDs, and one pick the last two weeks with Murray inactive.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) was limited in practice Friday, but heads into the weekend without an injury designation, so expect him to suit up. The 24-year-old is coming off his third straight game in which he received double-digit targets, and remains the unquestioned No. 1 in Atlanta with a 32 percent target share, good for the third-highest mark in the NFL. It is looking likely that Kirk Cousins will be under center on Sunday rather than Michael Penix Jr. (knee), who is nursing a bone bruise in his knee, but London was also Cousins' favorite target last season, drawing over 26 percent of looks from the veteran QB. The 6-foot-4 wideout may even get a slight touchdown boost with Cousins under center, catching seven TD passes from him in 2024. Sunday's home matchup is a good one, too, facing a generous Miami defense that has allowed over 29 points per game this season and also over the past three weeks. Although teams have been able to gash Miami on the ground, London figures to get his usual volume in this game in which Atlanta is favored by more than a touchdown, so chalk the USC product up as a mid-range WR1 again this week.
