Who Should I Start? Kyler Murray or Joe Burrow

Saturday, October 4, 12:20 PM

Through the first four weeks of the season, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has completed 66.9% of his passes for 742 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. The 28-year-old has also recorded 25 rush attempts for 148 yards, but has not yet found the end zone with his legs. Murray could be well-positioned for success in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee ranks 23rd in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.4), and Titans opponents are averaging 30 points per game. Murray could also be called upon for more production as a rusher, given Arizona's uncertain situation at running back after losing both James Conner (ankle) and Trey Benson (knee) to injury. In Week 5, Murray profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in single-quarterback leagues and a must-start QB in two-quarterback formats.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) has officially undergone surgery and is hopeful to make a return around mid-December, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. For now, Cincinnati will turn to backup Jake Browning in Burrow's absence and hope to stay afloat in time to make a run at the NFL playoffs. Burrow's injury was a tough one for fantasy managers, who drafted the QB to be an every-week starter and didn't even get two full games. A return could happen within fantasy playoffs, but managers are going to have to lean on their bench or a trade in the meantime.
