Kyler Murray 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Consistency Comes Now or Never
Going into his seventh season, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has yet to establish himself among the NFL's elite at the position. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, Murray always seems to fall back to earth by the end of the season, and 2024 was no exception. After earning a quarterback rating of over 75 in five of his first 12 games, Murray failed to top a QBR of 60 in each of his last five games, throwing eight touchdowns to five interceptions in that span. Worryingly, Murray still has bad habits of locking onto his first read and holding onto the ball for too long. According to Pro Football Network, Murray held the ball against the blitz, the 7th-most in the league. Overall, the former No. 1 overall pick finished with 3,851 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while rushing for 572 yards and five touchdowns over 17 games last season. This will be a pivotal year for Murray, as he has all the help he needs to thrive: a great offensive line (6th-best in the NFL according to PFN), a solid RB in James Conner, and a talented receiving corps headlined by WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride. The 27-year-old mentioned this offseason that he wants to run more in 2025, and his 572 rushing yards ranked fourth in the league among all quarterbacks. Expect Murray to improve slightly from 2024, but his lack of consistency means he will likely remain a low-end QB1. RotoBaller's offseason rankings align with Murray being a borderline QB1 and have him ranked as QB11 heading into 2025 fantasy football drafts.
