Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals (Listed in 22.6% of leagues on ESPN)

Arizona opened Murray’s 21-day practice window last Wednesday.

• NFL Media Ian Rapoport reports The Cardinals are going to take their time with Murray, so it’s very possible he won’t play this coming week, but should be back in one of the next two games.
• The Cardinals’ coaching staff will want to know if Murray is the team’s long-term quarterback or if they should draft the signal-caller, so we can expect Murray to be the starter for the rest of the season once he is healthy.
• Murray averaged at least 18.6 PPR points per game in all four of his seasons, but his fantasy production — including his rushing workload — was on the decline in 2022.
• This is his first season with the new coaching staff, which adds to the uncertainty.
• He may be the only quarterback available off the waiver wire the rest of the season who has multiple top-five finishes as realistic results.

Sam Howell, Washington leaders (36.1%)

Howell completed 22 of 42 passes for 249 yards in the Leaders’ loss to New York Giants.

• This week’s game wasn’t Hall’s best, but he’s the only quarterback to deal with more than 300 running backs this season.
• This large size gives it suitable ground for imagination. His 1,749 passing yards are seventh among quarterbacks this season.
• He faces Howell in Week 8 Philadelphia Eagleswhich allows quarterbacks more than 18 fantasy points per game, making it the best streaming option this week.
• He was QB13 in the team’s previous meet this season.

Danielle Jones, New York Giants (37.1%)

Jones missed the past two weeks with a neck injury, prompting several fantasy managers to cut him.

• He has been disappointing so far this season as he averages just 12.2 points per game. He ranked 22nd in fantasy points through the first five weeks of the season.
• Jones had a dominant performance in Week 2, scoring the most fantasy points of any quarterback after a 300-yard passing performance, two passing touchdowns and one rushing score. His other four matches were forgettable.
• Fantasy managers shouldn’t give up on Jones. He remains one of the best rushing midfielders in the league. His 197 rushing yards were third-most by any quarterback through the first five weeks of the season.
• Jones needs to improve his accuracy, but even if he can be a slightly below-average passer, he is a potential fantasy player.
• There is a possibility that Jones will miss another game. Even if he plays, it is a difficult match against New York Jets. Jones is strictly a long-term option.

Gardner Minshew, Indianapolis Colts (3.6%)

Minshew completed 15 of 23 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns while running three times for 29 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7.

• His fantasy football numbers were better than his real numbers, but it’s worth noting that he was up against an excellent level Cleveland Browns defense.
• This was his second straight game with over 300 receiving yards. Only three quarterbacks have more passing yards than Minshew over the past two weeks.
• Rushed production is the key to his potential fantasy production. He and Jalen hurts They are the only quarterbacks to have multiple rushing touchdowns over the past two weeks.
• The Colts have another tough matchup against New Orleans Saints In Week 8, but after that game, Indianapolis has one of the best Best schedules for fantasy quarterbacks During the rest of the season.

Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers (46.5%)

Hubbard shined in Week 6 with Miles Sanders Out before the Panthers’ seventh bye week.
