Kyler Murray eyeing more running opportunities in 2025
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray anticipates running more often than he has in recent seasons in 2025, according to Johnny Venerable of the PHNX Cardinals podcast.'(Kyler Murray) told us on our show a month ago ... He wants to run more, will run more this year. Take that for what it's worth. ... I think his numbers will be closer to that 2020 season - both passing and rushing. I don't know if he'll ever get back to those rushing yards (819), but a good year for Kyler on the ground (in 2025) would 500-plus yards and five-plus touchdowns,' Venerable said.
Offense to take advantage of Kyler Murray
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray's scrambling ability and ability to create off-scheduled plays need to be utilized more, according to offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. 'I think those are game-changing plays,' Petzing said. 'He's one of the few people in this league that can do it physically at a high level and create some of those. So, we want to make sure we're taking advantage of that.'

"Better fantasy asset than real life QB"

Murray has a high ceiling thanks to his rushing yardage and potential for strong rushing TD totals to pad his passing production.
Murray told reporters he should have run more last year and intends to do so this year. While that's enticing for fantasy GMs, it's only worthwhile if he's running when he lacks an opportunity to throw.
The problem with Murray's game is that he's too apt to run or scramble in situations where he could have climbed the pocket and found profoundly efficient answers that allow him to spread the ball around to his receivers.
Go look at Murray's season stats. He has only one season where he has supported more than one starter-tier fantasy option at a time. That's a sobering note.
Murray is a skilled quarterback in many respects. He's not a good one when it comes to winning football that involves his team, and it may be limiting his fantasy ceiling as he ages.
