Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Kyler Murray

Murray won the starting job with pristine practice performance

Matthew Coller confirms Kyler Murray won the starting quarterback job after vastly outperforming JJ McCarthy in camp with 'pristine' practices and superior progression speed. Murray is considered one of the more accurate quarterbacks in the NFL, particularly in the intermediate middle area, where he went 30-for-41 in 2024. While his height creates challenges for middle-of-the-field passing, his elite mobility and ability to escape pressure are top-tier. Coller notes that Murray's success hinges on his ability to trust receivers on blind, tight-window throws, and his mobility creates a 'gravity effect' that benefits the team's run game efficiency.
