Who Should I Start? Kyler Murray or Jaxson Dart

Wednesday, October 29, 11:49 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) missed his team's last two games before their Week 8 bye due to a mid-foot sprain. However, Murray is reportedly on track to return to the field for Arizona's Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Murray was having a down season before getting hurt. Across five games in 2025, the 28-year-old has recorded 961 passing yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. Still, Murray remains a threat with his legs (173 rushing yards, one touchdown) and gets a very favorable matchup on Monday night against Dallas. The Cowboys currently rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards (2,185) and passing touchdowns (20) allowed. If Murray can return against Dallas, he profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in Week 9.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a dynamic player since taking over as his team's starter in Week 4. Across six games (four starts) this season, Dart has completed 60.2% of his pass attempts for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. He's been most impressive with his legs, rushing for 178 yards and three touchdowns on 37 attempts. Dart and the Giants will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in Week 8, which marks the second time in the last three weeks that these two teams will square off. Dart played well in his first game against Philadelphia, recording 253 total yards and two touchdowns. However, it's worth noting that the Eagles played the entire game without star defensive lineman Jalen Carter and most of the game without top cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, both of whom will be active in Week 8. Dart's rushing ability gives him a safe fantasy floor, but he may have a difficult time as a passer in a tough road matchup. He profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 in Week 8 against the Eagles.
