Kyler Murray looks awful across nearly every measure and ranks 28th of 34 quarterbacks in fantasy points per drop back.

Owned in 51% of leagues, Murray is on the border of waiver wire relevance. The source expresses skepticism about his long-term outlook despite a favorable upcoming matchup against the Colts. He is currently ranked as a streaming option behind Aaron Rodgers and JJ McCarthy, but ahead of Baker Mayfield.PositiveValueOct 13, 2026
The source is bullish on Kyler Murray as a future waiver wire target, noting he is on a bye in Week 6 but has favorable upcoming matchups against Indianapolis, Detroit, and Buffalo. Despite a QB13 finish in Week 5, the source highlights his rushing upside, specifically his 54 rushing yards on seven carries and a 20.8 mph scramble, which was the fastest speed of any ball carrier that week. The source suggests his fantasy potential may be suppressed by the recent injuries to T.J. Hockenson, Jordan Addison, and Justin Jefferson. For managers in need of a quarterback, he is considered a streaming option with a suggested FAAB bid of 2-4%.PositiveMatchupOct 8, 2026

Joining the Vikings but presents significant scheme fit concerns for fantasy purposes. Murray has ranked 49th of 55 quarterbacks over the last three seasons in catchable target rate to outside receivers and possesses some of the worst accuracy on throws over 10 yards in the league. His 31% outside target rate is significantly below Kevin O'Connell's 43.5% scheme preference since 2023, creating a structural mismatch that will likely depress outside receiver production. While Murray is an upgrade over JJ McCarthy in EPA per drop-back metrics, his inaccuracy on outside throws threatens the fantasy value of Jefferson and other outside receivers.PositiveValueJul 16, 2026
