BALLER MOVE: Consider in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: Week 6 was the only game this season where Arizona didn't score a touchdown on their first possession. It coincided with Kyler Murray's second-worst fantasy total. The Cardinals need to score early and efficiently. They're barely possessing the football.
The Cardinals are running the second-fewest plays per game and average the fifth-lowest time of possession. Opposing offenses convert nearly half of third-down opportunities against the Cardinals. The defense stays on the field, making it impossible for Murray to score points.

Arizona's Week 7 opponent, the Los Angeles Chargers, ranks as one of the best defenses in the NFL and plays a slow, methodical style on offense. The Chargers average nearly 32 minutes of possession (seventh in the NFL). They're committed to the running game, and Arizona surrenders 4.7 yards per attempt.
Two quarterbacks have scored more than 15 fantasy points against the Chargers. The ball likely won't be in Murray's hands a lot, and he could disappoint. The rushing baseline helps, but he's just outside the top 12 in this week's rankings.
