Daniel Jones vs Kyler Murray: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Daniel Jones and Kyler Murray for your lineup, you are not alone. Daniel Jones finished the 2025 season at 18.0 PPG for the Indianapolis Colts (13 games), and Kyler Murray averaged 16.2 for the Minnesota Vikings (5 games).
That 1.8-point weekly advantage for Daniel Jones is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Daniel Jones threw for 3101 yards and 19 touchdowns, while Kyler Murray posted 962 yards and 6 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Daniel Jones has his bye in Week 14, and Kyler Murray rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
