Expert Note
View More NotesKyler Murray has been a disaster at quarterback this season as the QB34 in fantasy points per game. He has run more in his last two games, averaging 7.5 attempts and 45 yards on the ground, but in the passing department he has been wretched. Among 34 qualifying passers, he is 23rd in yards per attempt, 31st in passing success rate, 28th in aDOT, and dead last in highly accurate throw rate. Murray could have a nice game this week, but I don't have any faith in him to take advantage of a nice matchup. Across their last five games, Detroit has allowed the fifth-highest passing touchdown rate, the third-highest passing success rate, the fourth-highest passer rating, and the ninth-highest CPOE. Detroit in that span also has the fourth-best pressure rate and has ranked 12th in quick pressure rate. If Detroit's pass rush can rattle Murray this week, it could be his undoing.
