Who Should I Start? Kyler Murray or Tua Tagovailoa

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.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 27 of 36 pass attempts for 256 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss against the Carolina Panthers. He also rushed for five yards and took three sacks. Tagovailoa played well early in the game, pulling out to a 17-0 lead. However, Miami's offense eventually stalled and lost to the Panthers after a fourth quarter that saw three different lead changes. Fortunately for Tagovailoa's fantasy managers, his fantasy score doesn't factor in whether the Dolphins won or lost. As long as Miami is playing in close games or trailing, Tagovailoa will be passing a lot, which gives him plenty of fantasy upside going forward. He's a high-end QB2 in fantasy football heading into Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
