Kyler Murray's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

In Week 18, Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Kyler Murray carries the momentum from a stellar performance against the Eagles into a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Completing over 80% of his passes and scoring three touchdowns in a comeback victory in Week 17, Murray showcased his quarterback prowess. While his rushing output was modest, Murray remains a dual-threat force, ranking seventh in rushing yards and red zone carries per game. Despite his recent struggles as a passer, the Seahawks' defense, which has shown vulnerability in recent weeks, presents an opportunity for Murray to exploit. Since Week 12, Seattle has allowed significant passing yards, high yards per attempt, and a notable passer rating. With Murray's ability to capitalize on defensive weaknesses and a track record of at least 20 fantasy points in four of seven starts, deploying him in Week 18 could prove rewarding for fantasy managers. Murray is a QB1 for this matchup.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that there is "no doubt" that quarterback Kyler Murray will open the 2024 season later this year as the Cardinals' starting QB. "'Number 1' is our franchise quarterback," Gannon said. Since Murray made his 2023 season debut in Week 10, the Cardinals are 3-4 and just upset the Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 on Sunday. There had been questions as to whether the Cardinals would even play Murray for much of the year while he was rehabbing a torn ACL he suffered late in the 2022 season. Arizona will be looking to build around Murray in this year's draft instead of replacing him under center. With a normal offseason upcoming for Murray, he'll be a midrange QB1 target for fantasy managers in drafts this fall.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray engineered a stunning comeback in Week 17, completing 25 of 31 passes for 232 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the Cardinals' dramatic 35-31 triumph over the Eagles. Murray's three touchdown strikes found Michael Wilson, Michael Carter, and James Conner, showcasing his precision and playmaking prowess. While his rushing output was more subdued at 24 yards on five carries, Murray's masterful accuracy on his throws was instrumental in erasing a halftime deficit. This game marked a notable improvement in Murray's passing, reflecting positively on his health and overall performance. As the Cardinals look ahead to Week 18 against the Seahawks, Murray's resurgence bodes well for fantasy managers concluding the season.
