Arizona @ Carolina
Team Totals: Panthers 23, Cardinals 21
Cardinals-Panthers pits against each other underwhelming offenses both featuring porous offensive lines and schematic deficiencies. Kyler Murray’s dual-threat dynamism has been compromised by his diminished running aggressiveness — including playoffs, he’s rushed for fewer than 30 yards in four straight games — while Murray is on pace for a career-low 5.6 yards per pass attempt, understandable considering his diminished supporting cast. This year’s Panthers have yielded the league’s eighth-fewest fantasy quarterback points. In what projects as a low-scoring Week 4 affair, I’m downgrading Murray to a boom-bust, low-end QB1/2 option. … Overcoming Week 2’s ankle tweak, James Conner banked 16 touches in Week 3’s loss to the Rams while appearing on 60% of Arizona’s offensive snaps. The Panthers present an unimposing run defense matchup, having yielded a 76/348/2 (4.6 YPC) rushing line to enemy backs in their first three games. This contest’s neutral-script projection suggests Conner should resume flirting with 20 touches. Despite his disappointing start, I’m standing by Conner as a competent RB2 play.
