Kyler Murray Can Deliver In Championship Week
4 years agoArizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has struggled over the past month on the whole, but luckily he's coming off his best game in quite a while. Murray threw for 406 yards and three touchdowns while adding 29 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Week 16, Murray and the Cardinals face the San Francisco 49ers, who were just trounced by the Dallas Cowboys. Murray has shown some of his downside risk over the past month. He was held under 200 passing yards in both Week 12 and Week 13 and his rushing numbers over the second half of the year have been far inferior to his phenomenal rushing numbers early in the year. However, he's got a good chance to deliver this week and follow-up on last week's strong outing. He's worth trusting as a QB1 in championship week. Expect for him to score two or three total touchdowns and put up solid passing yardage.
