In a recent update on Week 10 QB rankings, Chris Towers provided valuable insights on Kyler Murray's return from a torn ACL and how it may affect his performance as a fantasy football quarterback. Towers also discussed the potential impact of Joe Burrow's injured weapons on his ranking for this week.

As of Sunday morning, there were no significant QB injury situations to monitor, with Kyler Murray receiving clearance to return from his torn ACL. Despite Murray's potential as a top-12 QB, Towers took a cautious approach and chose to start Jared Goff over him in at least one league for this week. Towers expressed concerns about Murray's potential rust and reduced running game usage early on, considering the length of his recovery time.

Another situation worth watching is the availability of Joe Burrow's weapons. Tee Higgins was already ruled out due to a hamstring injury, and there are indications that even if Ja'Marr Chase plays, he might be limited due to a back issue. Towers highlighted Burrow's ability to perform well in the absence of Chase last season, but he expressed skepticism about whether Tyler Boyd can step up as the top option this time. Consequently, Burrow was ranked as a low-end QB1 for Week 10, acknowledging the potential risk involved.

Moving on to the discussion of Kyler Murray's return, Towers emphasized the uncertainty surrounding his performance. Murray will be playing in a new offensive system, making it unclear how his previous tendencies will carry over. Additionally, there is a significant difference between being cleared to play and being back to one's usual self. Towers also pointed out that the Cardinals' lack of offensive weapons and the team's rebuilding phase might not provide an ideal situation for Murray.

Nevertheless, Towers acknowledged Murray's previous Fantasy point averages of 20.2, 24.7, and 26.9 over the past three seasons, highlighting his high upside when he is at his best. However, with Murray's rushing ability likely affected by the torn ACL, expectations for his return should be moderated. Understanding the unknown factors, Towers ranked Murray as his QB16 for Week 10, suggesting that fantasy managers consider alternative options such as Joshua Dobbs against the Saints who may offer more in terms of running production. Towers expressed optimism that Murray would improve as he gets more reps, especially as a runner.

In conclusion, while there may not be high excitement about starting Murray in Week 10, Towers emphasized the importance of having him on fantasy rosters and being intrigued by his potential. Towers hoped that Murray surpasses expectations and demonstrates his previous must-start QB caliber. If he achieves that, it could signal a positive outlook for Murray in Week 11 against the Texans and beyond.

Overall, Chris Towers' Week 10 QB rankings provide valuable insights into the impact of injuries and return from injury on fantasy football quarterback performance. Fantasy managers can use these rankings as a guide to optimize their lineups, keeping in mind the risks and potential upsides associated with each QB option.
