Kyler Murray is a priority buy as a streaming quarterback with favorable upcoming matchups against the Dolphins and Saints.

JJ Zachariason endorses a late-round quarterback strategy in 10-team PPR leagues, specifically targeting Kyler Murray in the 14th round or later rather than reaching for Caleb Williams in round 8. The rationale: in shallow 10-team formats, quarterback depth on waivers is abundant, allowing flexibility to stream or pivot if the pick underperforms; Kyler's ADP is reliably late, whereas Caleb's could spike to round 6 given Chicago's hype, making the opportunity cost of waiting on Kyler minimal while preserving early picks for running backs, receivers, and tight ends.NegativeValueAug 21, 2026
