Murray completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 202 yards, one touchdown and one interception in addition to eight rushing attempts for 63 yards, another score and a fumble lost in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina.
Analysis
Murray provided mixed results for fantasy managers in a must-win contest that the Cardinals squandered in overtime to a Panthers squad that entered Week 16 with three wins on the year. The dual-threat QB was responsible for two scores Sunday, but he also committed two turnovers for the third time over his last four appearances. The loss eliminated Arizona from playoff contention, meaning that Murray and the Cardinals can only play the role of spoiler in Week 17 against the Rams on Saturday.
Murray completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 224 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions while taking five carries for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Patriots.
Analysis
Murray left the contest briefly to be examined for a potential head injury after a late hit in the second half of Sunday's lopsided win. Backup Clayton Tune replaced Arizona's starter for the remainder of the drive before Murray retook the reins on the ensuing drive. While the dual-threat QB didn't throw any touchdowns for fantasy mangers Sunday, his only potential interception was erased by a roughing the passer penalty on the play during which he was injured. Murray escaped the win in good health, putting the signal-caller on track to start next Sunday's tilt against Carolina.
Murray completed 25 of 38 passes for 259 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks. He added three rushing attempts for 16 yards and ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis
Murray threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Michael Wilson on the opening drive, but the quarterback was picked off on the next two possessions, which helped Seattle build a 24-10 halftime lead. Murray closed the gap to 27-18 in the third quarter with a two-yard touchdown pass to James Conner followed by a Murray rush for a two-point conversion, but that's as close as Arizona would get. While Murray tossed multiple touchdown passes for only the third time this season, he also finished with multiple interceptions for the second consecutive game after having no multi-interception games through Week 12. He'll look to clean up the mistakes in Week 15 against the Patriots.
Murray completed 31 of 45 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Vikings. He added 48 rushing yards on seven carries.
Analysis
The 45 attempts were a season high for Murray, as James Conner struggled to produce much on the ground early and the Cardinals found more success with their short passing game. It was also the first time in 2024 that the QB tossed multiple picks, with both coming in the fourth quarter -- one with Arizona trying to protect a six-point lead, and the other on the team's final play after Minnesota took the lead with just 1:13 left on the clock. Murray has a poor 2:3 TD:INT over the last four games, and he may need to find more production in Week 14 against the Seahawks, a game that could have huge playoff implications in the NFC West.
Murray completed 24 of 37 passes for 285 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and took two carries for nine yards during Sunday's 16-6 loss at Seattle.
Analysis
The Cardinals emerged from their Week 11 bye with a dud, with the team mustering a pair of Chad Ryland field goals and nothing more. The game script flipped on Murray's interception midway through the third quarter, which Seahawks CB Coby Bryant returned for a touchdown. Overall, Murray's 37 pass attempts were a season high, while his two rushes matched his second fewest in a game this season, and he also failed to throw a TD for the second time in three contests. He'll aim to bounce back next Sunday at Minnesota, whose pass defense ranks in the bottom five in the NFL.
Murray completed 22 of 24 pass attempts for 266 yards and a touchdown while adding 21 rushing yards and two more scores on three carries in Sunday's 31-6 victory over the Jets.
Analysis
The dual-sport athlete nearly pitched a perfect game after missing just two pass attempts without turning the ball over while scoring three combined touchdowns in the blowout victory. Murray bounced back from his worst fantasy game of the season against the Bears last week, posting a gaudy stat line against the Jets. With over 2,000 combined yards of offense and 16 total touchdowns through 10 games, both fantasy managers and the Cardinals should feel good about the QB they have in camp this season. Murray will now enter his bye week and resume action in a road matchup against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.
Murray completed 13 of 20 passes for 154 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions, rushed twice for six yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 29-9 victory against the Bears.
Analysis
For the first time this season, Murray didn't record a passing touchdown, and he lost a fumble for the third time in nine games. His pass attempts also marked a season low, which was a result of the Cardinals controlling the game on the ground to the tune of 34 carries for 213 yards and three TDs. James Conner (107) accounted for a majority share of the yards, but reserve RBs Emari Demercado and Trey Benson combined for 96 yards between them. As a result, the team wasn't reliant on Murray's arm to get by or play catch-up. He may be forced to air it out more next Sunday versus the Jets.
Murray completed 26 of 36 pass attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis
Murray helped erase a nine-point deficit on the road to lift the Cardinals back to .500 on the season. The dual-threat quarterback had his worst rushing total of 2024, but he offset that for fantasy managers by eclipsing 300 passing yards for the first time through eight games. Murray has been a strong fantasy option when healthy over the course of his career, and he looks as healthy as ever heading into next Sunday's home tilt against the Bears.
Murray completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 145 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking six carries for 54 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
Analysis
Murray was involved in both of Arizona's touchdowns Monday, the third time he has provided fantasy managers with multiple scores this season. The dual-threat quarterback finished off the Chargers by driving his team's offense into field-goal range for kicker Chad Ryland to knock in a chip shot for the win. Murray has been a steady asset through seven games in 2024, making him a safe option for Sunday's tilt against the Dolphins.
