Quarterback
Kyler Murray: Murray’s status for Week 10 is still unclear per Kliff Kingsbury, so we will need to monitor his status throughout the week even though oddsmakers are treating things as if he will be active. Even if Murray does play, we should not anticipate that he will be running around while the matchup is not overly enticing for fantasy.
Murray has just 7.7 rushing points over the past five games played prior to his injury. That has made Murray reliant more on passing stats, which has also resulted in being the QB16 or lower in three of his past six games. Carolina is third in the league in passing points allowed per game (12.4). The Panthers have allowed high-scoring weeks to Dak Prescott (27.0 points) and Kirk Cousins (28.5 points) through the air as part of that sample, so there is still upside for Murray as a home favorite with a strong team total but carries volatility as a QB1 option.
