It is the general belief that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will be very good in his second season in 2020. After all, he passed for more than 3,700 yards and rushed for more than 500 as a rookie, earning him NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
How good can he be in Year 2?
His fantasy football projections are great. In fact, according to projections from The Huddle, his No. 4 among all quarterbacks in the NFL.
He is projected to have 400 fantasy points, passing for 4,400 yards and 25 touchdowns to go with only 10 interceptions. He is also projected to rush for 500 yards and score five times, giving him a combined 30 touchdowns on the season.
His 4,900 combined passing and rushing yards are the third-highest projected total, behind only Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott.
In terms of those passing totals and touchdowns, it would add his name to Cardinals records.
With his 3,722 passing yards in 2019, he had the seventh-highest single-season total for passing yards. 4,400 yards would be the fourth-highest total in franchise history.
He already holds the franchise record for the most rushing yards in a season by a quarterback. Only he and Charley Trippi are the only quarterbacks in team history to rush for at least 500 yards in a season, and Trippi did not only play quarterback.
25 touchdown passes in a season would rank seventh in teaam history.
These are very reasonable projections. He could do even better.
If you can, get Murray on your fantasy team. You won’t be disappointed.
