What It Means:

After sitting out Arizona's first preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, Murray is expected to log his first, and possibly only, snaps of the preseason on Friday. Speaking to the media this week, Murray communicated his feelings about the preseason, stating "(The preseason) is not real, I see it as, you go out and play well, it's not real. You play bad, you have a bad taste in your mouth. But at the end of the day, it's live reps. You take something away from it, but it doesn't count. That's how I feel about it." Kliff Kingsbury added "There is always a risk you take by putting those guys out there. Some teams don't do it, some teams do. I don't know if it is right or wrong, but we try to make the right decisions for this organization and go from there."

numberFire's models project Murray for 4,592.0 passing yards, 34.96 passing touchdowns, 631.2 rushing yards, and 8.15 rushing touchdowns this season. He is the QB3 in our preseason fantasy projections behind the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, and Buffalo's Josh Allen.
