There were a lot of expectations for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, as he entered 2024 fully recovered from his ACL injury he tore at the end of the 2022 season. He skyrocketed up draft boards after fantasy analyst<\/span> Matthew Berry named him his \u201cride or die\u201d<\/span><\/a> for the 2024 season. However, Murray failed to reach his ADP and did not finish as a top-five fantasy quarterback as predicted. Kyler Murray has an encouraging dynasty outlook as he looks to rebound in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynasty Outlook for Kyler Murray<\/h2>\n

Current Production<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Murray was the<\/span> QB8 in fantasy drafts<\/span><\/a> over the summer, with players such as Jayden Daniels<\/a>, Jared Goff, and Baker Mayfield going much later than Murray. Murray\u2019s season was not terrible, finishing as the QB12 in PPG (Weeks 1-17) and<\/span> QB10 (Weeks 1-18)<\/span><\/a>. He was a low-end QB1 in most fantasy leagues in 2024, which is not terrible. However, it felt like a disappointing year based on the hype he was receiving in the preseason, with many bold predictions that he would finish as a top-five fantasy quarterback.<\/span><\/p>\n

Murray Dynasty Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to<\/span> KeepTradeCut<\/span><\/a>, Murray entered the season around the QB10 in dynasty rankings and is now the QB13. He is behind C.J. Stroud<\/a>, Bo Nix, and Jordan Love while ahead of Brock Purdy, Baker Mayfield, and Trevor Lawrence. Murray is worth an early first-round pick in rookie drafts this season in superflex leagues. However, most fantasy managers wouldn’t trade away Murray for just that price. His real worth is at least one first-round pick plus something else, especially in deeper leagues that can start two quarterbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kyler Murray Dynasty Outlook<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Murray will enter 2025 at just 28 years old. He is in the same age range as Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow, so age is not a concern for Murray. Murray has stayed relatively healthy over his career, except for his ACL injury, which cost him time in 2022 and 2023. Other than that, he has played in almost every game since his rookie season in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Murray to become a top-eight fantasy quarterback this year, the Cardinals offense will have to take the next step. They drafted college superstar wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr<\/a>. with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but Murray and Harrison Jr. struggled to be on the same page. Hopefully, another offseason to train together will improve their connection. The Cardinals could use more wide receiver help, so look for them to draft one in the upcoming NFL Draft<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
