Yahoo Fantasy Football on Kyler Murray
From the article
Kyler Murray is one of my favorite quarterback starts this week, and the reason is not that Green Bay suddenly became a bad pass defense. It didn't. The Packers allowed the sixth-fewest yards per attempt last season. The angle is what their pass rush looks like without Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary, followed by what Murray can do when the pocket breaks down.
STACKED’s take
Murray's rushing floor and broken-pocket upside make him QB13 with 10% boom rate vs. Packers' weakened pass rush.
Murray is a QB13 projection with a 10% boom rate (27+ points) against Green Bay despite ECR ranking him QB16. The Packers allowed the sixth-fewest yards per attempt last season but lose Micah Parsons (ACL recovery) and Rashan Gary (traded to Dallas) from their pass rush. Green Bay allowed 0.45 fantasy points per pass attempt without Parsons versus 0.38 with him on field. Murray has averaged 33.3 rushing yards per game over five seasons (3.2 fantasy points, 80% of a passing TD), and in Kevin O'Connell's offense with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, and T.J. Hockenson, if the pocket breaks down or Green Bay can't consistently get home off the edge, Murray has multiple paths to fantasy points.
