If Murray returns to Pro Bowl form and is rejuvenated by this change of scenery, then the Vikings are a legitimate NFL sleeper. However, he has to prove that. Murray has missed 30 out of a possible 68 games over the last five years, and Jacoby Brissett looked like an upgrade over him in Arizona last year.

Negative signalProjection

Murray's Pro Bowl upside hinges on health and scheme fit; injury history is a major concern.

Murray is the Vikings' starting QB and the source notes that 'if Murray returns to Pro Bowl form and is rejuvenated by this change of scenery, then the Vikings are a legitimate NFL sleeper.' However, significant injury concerns exist: Murray has missed 30 of 68 possible games over the last five years. Additionally, Jacoby Brissett 'looked like an upgrade over him in Arizona last year,' raising questions about his recent performance. Murray is running a different offensive scheme under Kevin O'Connell, who is 'encouraged by what he can be in this scheme.' A potential rift with backup J.J. McCarthy has also been flagged as a locker room concern.
