Kyler Murray: I've never had an issue protecting myself, concussion was an awkward play
Kyler Murray has been cleared and will start for the Vikings against the Buccaneers, per ProFootballTalk, and says the Week 1 concussion was an awkward play rather than a habit of exposing himself.
Kyler Murray will be back at quarterback for the Vikings when they take on the Buccaneers this Sunday and he won't be playing with fears of a repeat of what happened in Week 1.
Sharp take
Sharp SixBenchHe cleared, so the health question is closed and the fantasy question is still open. Murray put up 0.8 FFPC points before leaving Week 1, he sits 163rd in sharp rank with negative value over replacement, and this is a 42.5-point total in Tampa with Minnesota laid as 1.5-point favourites. That is a low-ceiling game for a quarterback you were already streaming around. Bench him unless your quarterback room is empty. If it is, he plays, which is most of what you needed.
