Arizona Cardinals DFS Spin
Kyler Murray completed 22-of-34 pass attempts for 193 yards and two touchdowns in the Cardinals’ 44-21 Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, adding five rushes for 29 yards. The Cardinals offense was predicated on Murray making miraculous escapes from a collapsing pocket and throwing on the run to one of the league’s worst receivers groups. Murray targeted the unheralded Greg Dortch a team-high nine times and Marquise Brown six times. Arizona seems to have no offensive identity without DeAndre Hopkins, who will miss the season’s first six weeks while serving a suspension. Murray appeared frustrated early and often — an unsurprising development for the leader of an offense that hasn’t looked right since the first half of last season. Murray’s rushing prospects make him a high-end QB1 option every week, including in Week 2 against the Raiders.
Las Vegas Raiders DFS Spin
Derek Carr completed 22-of-37 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions in the Raiders’ 24-19, Week 1 loss to the Chargers. Playing behind a terrible offensive line that was shuffling in different bodies to try and find the right combo, Carr was under a ton of duress, taking five sacks, and fumbling twice, though the Raiders recovered both. Carr pretty much locked on to new WR1 Davante Adams all afternoon, targeting Adams on 17 of his 37 throws, good for an out-of-this-world 46% target share. Carr just forced too many throws and was under so much pressure. Carr will try to cut down on the mistakes in an easier Week 2 home date against the Cardinals.
