Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray

Sunday, December 7, 9:12 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had a mediocre day as a passer in his team's Week 14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing 19 of 35 pass attempts for 219 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. However, Jackson recorded 43 rushing yards on seven attempts and scored his first rushing touchdown since Week 1. The 28-year-old missed four games in October due to a hamstring injury and hasn't quite been himself since his return, averaging under 20 rushing yards per game over his last five contests heading into Week 14. While Jackson's work through the air remained below his usual standard against Pittsburgh, fantasy managers can draw some hope from the work he did with his legs in Week 14. Even amidst his relative struggles, Jackson has explosive upside and remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that "it wouldn't surprise a lot of league executives if the Cardinals decide to move on" from quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) after the 2025 season. Murray has not played since Week 5 due to a foot injury, and reportedly will not return this season. The 28-year-old struggled across five starts, completing 68.3% of his pass attempts for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. He has roughly $37 million in fully guaranteed money remaining on his current contract, but Russini reports that the Cardinals could "try to trade him or simply release him." In the midst of a disastrous 2025 season, it appears Arizona is looking to hit the reset button heading into 2026. There will almost certainly be interest from quarterback-needy teams in Murray in the offseason, but his contract could be a complicating factor in trade negotiations.
