Kyler Murray vs CJ Stroud Week 10 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for QBs
Quarterback is a crucial position in football, but it's also massively important in fantasy football. Kyler Murray and CJ Stroud are two of the top fantasy quarterbacks this season.
With another big fantasy matchup ahead in Week 10, which quarterback is the better option?
Is Kyler Murray a good fantasy pick?
Kyler Murray is a good fantasy pick overall, especially in Week 10.
The Cardinals will host the New York Jets in Week 10 and this season, the Jets are allowing 181 passing yards, but their run defense has been an issue as New York is allowing 132.5 rushing yards per game.
Murray should be able to have success with his legs as well as throwing the ball to rack up fantasy points.
Is CJ Stroud a good fantasy pick?
CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans host the Detroit Lions in Sunday Night Football in a highly-anticipated matchup.
However, the Lions have a good defense which should impact Stroud's fantasy outlook, so managers should be warned. Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins remain out as well, which hinders the Texans' passing game.
This season, the Lions are allowing 265.75 passing yards per game, as they have a much better rushing defense. That should help Stroud's fantasy outlook in Week 10 as he will be able to pass the ball quite often.
Kyler Murray or CJ Stroud: Who should I start?
Sportskeeda's fantasy start/sit optimizer suggests that fantasy managers should start Stroud over Murray.
The tool has Stroud projected to get 18.9 fantasy points in a full PPR league. They project the Texans quarterback will throw for 274 yards and 1.6 touchdowns, while also rushing for 12.1 yards.
Meanwhile, it projects Murray for 17.7 fantasy points, throwing for 207 yards and 1.3 touchdowns, while rushing for 32.4 yards.
The difference between the two quarterbacks is the passing yards, as Stroud is projected to throw nearly 70 yards more than Murray.
Ultimately, with the Lions having a poor passing defense, the tool likes Stroud over Murray in Week 10.
