Kyler Murray put up a stat line of 229 passing yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, but don’t let those numbers fool you. Even with what looked like an efficient day through the air, he is still stuck firmly in the low-end QB2 tier for fantasy leagues right now.
Efficient Through the Air
Murray was pretty sharp with his arm against the Saints. He completed 24 of his 30 pass attempts, racking up those 229 yards and throwing for one touchdown. Crucially, he kept the ball out of harm’s way, finishing the game with zero interceptions. That kind of efficiency is usually something to cheer about.
Running It Up… A Little
What really gave his overall production a slight bump was his work on the ground. Murray tucked it and ran 10 times, picking up 51 yards. The source noted he “did a little bit more with his legs,” which definitely added to his total yardage. Even with those extra yards, his total output for the week still slots him squarely as a low-end QB2 in most fantasy setups.
