Clayton Tune News
As Week 17 approaches, Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Clayton Tune looms as a potential starter if Kyler Murray is sidelined due to illness. However, facing a formidable Eagles defense, Tune doesn't project as a reliable fantasy option. For fantasy managers deliberating whether to wait for Murray's status or pivot to Tune, the decision hinges on the urgency of securing a starting quarterback. If the waiver wire offers more favorable options, the risk of Tune's uncertain performance may outweigh the potential reward. With a challenging matchup against the Eagles defense, fantasy managers may be better served exploring alternative quarterback options for Week 17. With Murray expected to play, fantasy managers rostering him should keep a close eye on his health updates leading up to kickoff to make an informed decision regarding Tune's fantasy viability.
Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Clayton Tune completed 11 of 20 passes for 58 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Cardinals' 27-0 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He also rushed five times for 28 yards and lost a fumble. The first-year signal caller had a tough assignment in his initial NFL start, going up against one of the top defenses in the league. The results were about what was to be expected, as Tune looked out of sorts and uncomfortable all day. This will likely be a one-and-done scenario for the rookie unless the Cardinals give Kyler Murray (knee) one more week to get healthy. Moving forward, Tune should be avoided in all formats.
Arizona Cardinals fifth-round rookie quarterback Clayton Tune is expected to make his first NFL start in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, according to sources. Tune worked with the starting offensive unit all week long while Kyler Murray (knee) worked with backups. Murray is expected to come off Injured Reserve to make his season debut in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, so this will most likely be a one-week start for Tune after the Cardinals traded Joshua Dobbs to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday. The 24-year-old Tune looked good in training camp and impressed the coaches, but fantasy managers shouldn't be using him in starting lineups in Week 9 unless they are absolutely desperate for a second QB in superflex leagues.
