Ian Hartitz places Kyler Murray in the 'Run Forest Run' tier 6 (dual-threat rushing QBs). Currently QB17 across the industry, Hartitz expects the biggest week-1 rank bump of any QB, potentially top-12 by week 1. Among QBs with 100+ rush attempts over the past decade, 26 of 28 posted top-12 fantasy points per game, underscoring the fantasy value of dual-threat QBs like Murray. Hartitz has him higher than consensus and loves the late-round value at QB17 price. However, a significant concern is Murray's poor 2024 performance and head coach Kevin O'Connell's potential hot seat with JJ McCarthy waiting in the wings, creating bench risk—higher chance of benching than most QBs discussed. Still viable as a round-13 late-round strategy.
