The Arizona Cardinals will face the New England Patriots in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Kyler Murray.
Is Kyler Murray Playing in Week 15?
Murray felt under the weather on Friday but still practiced in full. He will not miss a game because of a minor illness.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cardinals’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Kyler Murray in Week 15?
During this three-game losing streak, Murray has completed just 9 of 30 pressured passes with zero touchdowns and five interceptions. With his rushing numbers trending down, those passing numbers are alarming, even more so when you consider this matchup.
The Patriots, on the whole, are not overly aggressive, but we’ve seen them ramp things up in specific spots, and this could be such a situation.
Four games with at least a 40% blitz rate
Five games with a pressure rate of at least 33.3%
It’s been a coin toss this season if Murray will finish as a QB1 (five such finishes). This week, I have him on the wrong side of that equation, opting to rank his opposing number in this game above him.
