Kyler Murray or Jared Goff: who should I start in Week 3?
Both players' season price from the sportsbooks, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.
Updated Sep 25, 2026 at 2:21 AM ET
Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the books have not posted a whole price on Jared Goff, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

Consensus average draft position has stopped updating on these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out rather than printed stale. The verdict line above restates the sportsbooks' price and nothing else.
Where the draft room stands
Drafters have formed no consensus on Kyler Murray: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 95th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 46.
Drafters have formed no consensus on Jared Goff: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 102nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 24.
What the sportsbooks price
The player markets price Kyler Murray at 16.5 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 16 books. That is the 26th highest figure of the 186 players the books price.
The books have Jared Goff at 16.3 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 17 books. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Jared Goff's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
