Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been one the best fantasy quarterbacks since he entered the NFL in 2019. The superstar has finished as a top-10 quarterback every year of his career.
Furthermore, the former Oklahoma star is the QB8 for the year, averaging 19.4 fantasy points per game despite missing time with a hamstring injury.
Unfortunately, Murray has missed the past two games because of a hamstring injury. While Colt McCoy has filled in admirably for the superstar, the former Texas Longhorn couldn’t replicate Murray's fantasy production.

Is Kyler Murray Healthy Or Injured?
Yesterday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said the superstar quarterback was trending in the right direction to start this week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Murray took things a step further and said he expects to start in Week 12.
After he has missed the past two games with the injury, fantasy players will be excited to have their superstar quarterback in their lineups this week.
Should I Start Kyler Murray In Week 12?
Before he suffered the hamstring injury, Murray was playing excellent football. Over his past three games, the veteran quarterback had six passing touchdowns and only two interceptions. Furthermore, he averaged 235 passing yards and 20.3 fantasy points per game during that span.
The former first-overall pick provides fantasy players with a safe floor every week, thanks to his rushing production. Over his past four contests, the superstar quarterback averaged 56.5 rushing yards per game, totaling at least 30 yards in every matchup.
Murray isn’t in the same class as the top quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Justin Herbert. Yet, the Arizona signal-caller can make week-winning plays and highlight reel throws.
More importantly, Murray has a solid matchup this week. The Chargers have surrendered 16.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, just above the league average. However, they have surrendered 284.5 passing yards and 21.7 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the past two weeks.
Furthermore, Los Angeles has given up 16 passing touchdowns to quarterback this season, the seventh-most in the NFL. They have surrendered at least two passing touchdowns in 60% of their games this season.
Fantasy players should feel confident starting Murray this week against the Chargers.
