Who Should I Start? Kyler Murray or Spencer Rattler

Monday, October 6, 10:59 PM

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will be monitored this week after briefly leaving the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday to have his foot evaluated in the locker room, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. The fact that Murray returned and finished out Sunday's game should give fantasy managers hope that he'll be able to play in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. However, Gannon is leaving things up in the air early in the week, so we'll have to pay close attention to the 28-year-old signal-caller's practice status later in the week. Murray had another middling fantasy outing against the Titans, throwing for 220 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. He added a rushing touchdown but also lost a fumble. If Murray is unable to play in Week 6, veteran Jacoby Brissett would make the start against the one-loss Colts.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler put up a season-low 126 passing yards against the Bills in Week 4. It was his first game under 200 yards this season, though he added value on the ground with six rushes for 49 yards. Rattler's 146 pass attempts rank fifth in the league, but he's averaging just 191.3 yards per game, 26th among quarterbacks. He has done well avoiding turnovers with only one interception, but remains winless as a starter at 0-10. Now he faces a Giants defense that just held Justin Herbert to 203 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Rattler remains a low-end QB2 or Superflex option in Week 5, though with Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau practicing in a limited fashion, he may have additional weapons available soon.
