2024 Season Outlooks

Optimism is high for Murray to return to his top-10 Fantasy QB form now that he's completely over his ACL rehab from 2023 and is armed with outstanding rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the Cardinals passing game. In eight starts last season, Murray averaged 20.8 Fantasy points per game, notching at least 22 in half of them. That was good for 11th-best among quarterbacks in that time frame, continuing his trend of being a top-12 finisher in per-game Fantasy average (he was ninth in 2022 and seventh in 2021 and 2020). It would then make sense to target Murray as at least the eighth quarterback off the board in Fantasy drafts since he's had some consistency through his career and has the upside to have an even stronger season in 2024. Taking him by Round 7 in one-QB leagues doesn't feel like too big of a risk; if you want him in Superflex/two-QB drafts, be prepared to spend a top-15 choice.

Murray returned as the Cardinals' starter after being sidelined for 11 months due to a right knee injury that he suffered in December 2022. Murray's rehab proved successful, as the dual-threat talent immediately flashed his trademark wheels, averaging more than 30 rushing yards per game between Weeks 10 and 18 last season. He was less consistent as a passer, recording his lowest completion percentage since his 2019 rookie campaign. A considerable amount of his inefficiency, however, could be attributed to a dearth of surrounding talent, as well as Marquise Brown's end-of-season absence (heel). Murray heads into his sixth pro campaign with a full offseason under his belt and plenty of time to build rapport with the team's young pass-catching talent, including fourth overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. Consider Murray a low-end QB1 for fantasy purposes.
