When asked if quarterback Kyler Murray would be the team's starter in 2025, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said, "100 percent," on Burns And Gambo. "He's a top-level, franchise quarterback," Gannon said. Although he led the Cardinals to an 8-9 record and no playoff appearance, Murray did throw for 3,851 yards -- the second-highest total of his career -- 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 starts. His 572 rushing yards -- he added five touchdowns on the ground -- ranked fourth among all QBs in 2024. The 27-year-old isn't going anywhere heading into the second year of a five-year, $230.5 million extension that he signed in July of 2022. Arizona should keep most of their skill players on offense, but Murray will need to establish more chemistry with first-round wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. to take a step forward for the Cardinals and fantasy managers that make him their QB1.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch had his best performance of the season in the 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Dortch had an increased role in this game with wide receiver Michael Wilson (hamstring) out of the lineup. Dortch's official stat line was four catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Dortch wasn't as involved in the Cardinals' offense as some had expected this season; however, his performance at the end of the year proved he is still capable of making plays when given the opportunity. It will be interesting to see what Dortch's role will be with the Cardinals heading into next season.
Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. ended the season on a high note, catching a 12-yard touchdown pass from Kyler Murray. Harrison Jr. was active in the 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers, catching five passes for 63 yards and one touchdown. Harrison Jr. joined Cardinals legends Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald in a tie for the most receiving touchdowns by a Cardinals rookie, with eight. Harrison Jr. entered the season with sky-high expectations, leading some to view his year as a disappointment. However, he built momentum with his last two performances of the season and will look to have a breakout year in his second season with the Cardinals.
