Kyler Murray, the quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, is set to return to the field soon. Murray has consistently been one of the top-10 fantasy quarterbacks throughout his career when he’s been healthy. However, his fantasy production, including his rushing workload, declined in 2022. With a new coaching staff this season, there is some uncertainty surrounding Murray’s performance. Despite this, he is a viable option off the waiver wire and could potentially finish in the top five.
Another option at quarterback is Sam Howell of the Washington Commanders. Howell has had an up and down season, but he currently leads the league in dropbacks. This high volume of plays gives him a decent floor for fantasy points. Facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, who have allowed over 18 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, Howell is a strong streaming option.
Daniel Jones of the New York Giants has struggled this season, but he remains one of the top rushing quarterbacks in the league. While he needs to improve his accuracy as a passer, Jones has the potential to be a fantasy starter, especially with his rushing ability. However, he may miss another game and has a tough matchup against the New York Jets. Jones should be considered a long-term option.
Gardner Minshew of the Indianapolis Colts had a strong performance in Week 7, completing over 300 passing yards and scoring four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing). While his fantasy numbers were better than his actual play, Minshew has shown potential and has been productive over the past two weeks. The Colts have a tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8, but their schedule for the rest of the season is favorable for fantasy quarterbacks.
In the running back position, Chuba Hubbard of the Carolina Panthers has been performing well in the absence of Miles Sanders. He had a standout performance in Week 6 and is worth targeting in fantasy leagues.
These players should be targeted in your fantasy football leagues, considering the specific needs and requirements of your league format.
