Kyler Murray Looking to be Better 'Off-Script' This Season

Sunday, June 22, 3:37 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray noted in an interview with ESPN that he wants the team to improve this season in situations when the original play call breaks down. "It's just we have to be better on off-scheduled plays because, obviously, I have that ability to make extend plays, and we have the guys to go do it off schedule," said the former Oklahoma Sooner. "So, I believe that's an area we got to be better at." Arizona is looking for Murray to make a jump this season, and they're hoping he can get back to some of the improvisational tendencies he displayed when he bolstered WR DeAndre Hopkins as one of his weapons. The 27-year-old has been put in a situation to succeed, though it hinges on his own development. He's one of the more intriguing mid-round QBs due to his rushing upside.

Joe Burrow to Play More This Preseason

Wednesday, July 23, 10:52 AM

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow will play more this preseason than ever before as the team looks to get off to a faster start than in years past. Burrow played sparingly last year, going 5-for-7 for 51 yards and one touchdown in his first action in the preseason since 2021. The Bengals got off to a slow start in 2024 that they could never recover from, so they're hoping to avoid that same situation in 2025 and come out firing in Week 1. The 28-year-old former first overall pick was excellent last year, leading the league in passing yards (4,918), completions (460), pass attempts (652), yards per game (289.3) and touchdowns (43) in 17 starts. It was a nice rebound from his injury-shortened 2023 campaign and a reminder that he's a QB1 in fantasy with perhaps the best receiving duo in the league in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
