Kyler Murray is the unquestioned leader of the Arizona Cardinals offense, and a top-10 fantasy football QB every week. Through the first nine weeks of the season, he has been able to stay healthy and avoid missing any time. However, as we head into Week 10, there are questions as to his availability Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Rams.
In last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, it was fairly obvious that Murray injured his hamstring during the game. He voiced his frustration several times to fellow teammates and coaches on the sidelines after hurting himself in the second quarter.
If Murray plays in Week 10, should you start him in fantasy football?

Is Kyler Murray Hurt Or Healthy?
After starting the season with a disappointing 3-6 record, the Cardinals will look to climb the standings on Sunday against the Rams.
The chances of victory will be small, however, if Murray isn't able to suit up or his production suffers because of his hamstring injury. The Arizona QB relies on his athletism to make plays, so if that is compromised, Sunday might not be pretty.
Murray is averaging over 22 fantasy points per game in 2022, but if he is less than 100% in Week 10, there is a legitimate reason to be concerned and you may want to look for other options.
Kyler Murray Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 10
A hamstring issue is always a difficult injury to manage, particularly for a mobile QB such as Murray. The strength of his game is the ability to maneuver in and out of the pocket, make plays on the ground, and get the ball to DeAndre Hopkins, his star wide receiver. If Murray isn't healthy, a legitimate case can be made regarding whether you should feel confident starting him.
To complicate matters for fantasy owners, the Rams have not been kind to Murray's fantasy production. He's 1-6 against the Rams in his career, and earlier this season, they held Murray to his lowest fantasy total of the season (13.3 points).
Monitoring the Cardinals' practice report for the rest of the week would be wise, as any limited tags would certainly be a signal to play Murray only if you feel like taking a risk.
