The Kyler Murray project is off to a slow start. It hasn't been a disaster—as the Vikings are generally avoiding negative plays (18 sacks, 22nd; two interceptions, t-third)—but the efficiency is quite poor. 15th in passer rating (90.7), 22nd in yards per attempt (6.6), 25th in dropback EPA (-0.029), 30th in success rate (38.6%)

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Murray's Vikings offense ranks 27th; poor efficiency (90.7 rating, -0.029 EPA) persists.

Murray's Vikings pass offense ranks 27th overall and is off to a slow start. The offense ranks 15th in passer rating (90.7), 22nd in yards per attempt (6.6), 25th in dropback EPA (-0.029), and 30th in success rate (38.6%). Murray averages 2.91 seconds to throw (12th), suggesting he holds the ball longer than normal. The Vikings throw the ball deep infrequently (Murray 23rd in average depth of target, 15th in deep shot percentage), and the offense hasn't found its groove despite strong receiver talent.
