Kyler Murray expected to begin training camp on PUP list

According to Darren Urban of the team’s site, Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is expected to be placed on the physically unable to perform list for training camp.

Fantasy Impact

Murray joining the PUP list wouldn’t be a surprise as he tore his ACL in December. Training camp starts in July and Murray will only be seven months removed from his injury. The key, as Urban points out, is whether or not he remains on the PUP list when preseason ends in late August. If he remains on the PUP list to start the season, he has to miss at least four games. It is currently uncertain how much time Murray will miss, and Urban says that chatter about his rehab process has been quiet. This uncertainty has set Murray with an average draft position of QB22.

Expert Fantasy Football Outlook

Kyler Murray will pose an interesting dilemma for fantasy drafters in 2023. A dangerous dual-threat QB who’s averaged 21.2 fantasy points over 57 NFL starts, Murray tore his ACL on Dec. 12 and may not be ready for the start of the season, so his recovery will have to be monitored closely over the summer. Murray regressed as a passer in 2022, averaging just 6.1 yards per attempt. But Murray finished QB2 in fantasy scoring in 2020, and at his best he’s a difference-making quarterback who can rack up fantasy points with both his arm and his legs.
