Vikings Targeting Week 12 for Kyler Murray's Return

Saturday, November 14, 5:52 PM

The Ringer's Tom Pelissero reports that the Minnesota Vikings are targeting the Week 12 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 29, for quarterback Kyler Murray's (hamstring) return from a Grade 2 hamstring injury that he suffered in the team's first loss of the season to the division-rival Detroit Lions in Week 8. Veteran Carson Wentz was a disaster taking over for Murray under center in the Week 9 loss to the Buffalo Bills, which prompted Minnesota to acquire Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders at the NFL trade deadline. The 29-year-old Murray suffered a concussion in his Vikings debut in the Week 1 win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers and has also missed time with his hamstring injury, but in between, he struggled mightily to pick up head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense and connect with All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson, completing only 64.9% of his pass attempts for 1,022 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions in his six starts. Now that Cousins is back in Minnesota, Murray is expected to find himself as the Vikings' backup when he returns from his hamstring injury, which makes him droppable in most single-QB fantasy leagues.

Trevor Lawrence Among Elite QB Options Against Titans

Saturday, November 14, 6:14 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence remains a clear QB1 in fantasy in a Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The former top pick is coming off a down fantasy performance in a 33-10 blowout against the Baltimore Ravens that was dominated by the rushing attack. That could mean a repeat performance against the Titans in what should be another blowout victory, but the 27th-ranked defense against quarterbacks in fantasy is too juicy of a matchup to overthink it. Lawrence will have all of his weapons at his disposal, and could be the reason the Jaguars gain a big lead in the first place. The Titans also rank slightly better against the run than the pass, so Liam Coen could switch things up and pass more early. Overall, Lawrence has done a great job this season of protecting the ball and finding the end zone consistently, tossing three or more touchdowns in four of eight games. There is very little downside beyond potentially unfavorable game script for Lawrence, making him a set-and-forget starter in Week 10.
