Week 17 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings: Start of the Week
Kyler Murray at Los Angeles Rams
This season has truly been a Jekyll and Hyde one for the Arizona Cardinals signal caller. Unfortunately, he has scored under 16 fantasy points seven times. However, he has also put up more than 20 points six times.
Week 2 seems like a long time ago. However, that is when the Cardinals last faced off against the Rams. Murray posted his second-best fantasy performance of the season that day with 28.5 fantasy points.
Don’t let the Week 15 game on Thursday night against the 49ers and the Rams fool you. The 49ers managed to only score six points at home against the Rams. The weather for most of the game was slick and rainy. More importantly, it wasn’t ideal for the passing game for either team. Try to remember instead the week before, where the Rams at home allowed the Buffalo Bills to score 42 points on them. Josh Allen scored 51.9 fantasy points that game. Finally, the Rams still remain a bottom-third passing defense.
I have been professing my love of the Cardinals playoff schedule all season long and there is no reason to stop now. Personally, in two of my “more important leagues,” I have Murray as my starting quarterback. As the saying goes, I am putting my money where my mouth is.
Let’s hope that Murray brings us the money, and gives us that championship that we so desire. Murray is my QB7 for this week’s fantasy football quarterback rankings. Good luck this week.
