News: 10 hours agoMurray completed 24 of 37 passes for 285 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and took two carries for nine yards during Sunday's 16-6 loss at Seattle.

Spin: The Cardinals emerged from their Week 11 bye with a dud, with the team mustering a pair of Chad Ryland field goals and nothing more. The game script flipped on Murray's interception midway through the third quarter, which Seahawks CB Coby Bryant returned for a touchdown. Overall, Murray's 37 pass attempts were a season high, while his two rushes matched his second fewest in a game this season, and he also failed to throw a TD for the second time in three contests. He'll aim to bounce back next Sunday at Minnesota, whose pass defense ranks in the bottom five in the NFL.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Murray returned as the Cardinals' starter after being sidelined for 11 months due to a right knee injury that he suffered in December 2022. Murray's rehab proved successful, as the dual-threat talent immediately flashed his trademark wheels, averaging more than 30 rushing yards per game between Weeks 10 and 18 last season. He was less consistent as a passer, recording his lowest completion percentage since his 2019 rookie campaign. A considerable amount of his inefficiency, however, could be attributed to a dearth of surrounding talent, as well as Marquise Brown's end-of-season absence (heel). Murray heads into his sixth pro campaign with a full offseason under his belt and plenty of time to build rapport with the team's young pass-catching talent, including fourth overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. Consider Murray a low-end QB1 for fantasy purposes.
