Who Should I Start? Kyler Murray or Trevor Lawrence

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) could return around midseason, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. The team is reportedly "pleased with the work ethic, rehab, and study habits" of its star quarterback as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered last season. When Murray returns, he'll be a fantasy QB1 while also elevating the stock of his teammates. For the time being, though, Arizona's outlook is bleak as Joshua Dobbs opens the season at quarterback.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was 27-of-40 for 279 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a blowout loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. He also rushed three times for twelve yards. It was another huge letdown from the Jags offense, this time against an inferior opponent. The back-to-back near-duds are certainly concerning, as Lawrence has now underperformed his ranking each of the first three weeks. Jacksonville's first five drives ended in a missed field goal, a punt, a blocked field goal, a punt, and a fumble. Lawrence has now failed to eclipse even 18 fantasy points this year, which is a major red flag considering he was taken as the QB8 in 2023 drafts. The former first-overall pick is now off the QB1 radar until he proves otherwise. It doesn't get any easier next week against a fairly strong Atlanta secondary.
