Against the Indianapolis Colts' defense, Matt Okada of NFL.com believes that the Vikings' QB Kyler Murray should start this week for your fantasy football team.
As Okada notes, Murray's fantasy football production had been on the rise entering the bye week.
"Murray had increased his fantasy output in each successive game entering the bye -- with a season-high 51 rushing yards and 18.26 fantasy points against the Saints in Week 5 -- and Indy has allowed 22-plus fantasy points to three of the four legitimate fantasy starters it has faced (which excludes Washington’s backups and Cam Ward)," Okada wrote.
Over the last two games, Murray has completed 76% of his throws for 476 yards with a touchdown. He also rushed for 51 yards in Week 5 against New
Orleans.
Also a factor in Okada's decision to name Murray among the QBs you should start this week is the Colts' defense. This unit has struggled to pressure the quarterback this season, while the secondary has been susceptible to giving up explosive passing plays.
The Colts will enter this game allowing 27.3 points per game, the sixth-most in the NFL.
