PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026
Murray had the worst season of his career last year with only 15.5 fantasy points per game, but has been a top-12 QB every other year of his career. He now gets to play with Kevin O'Connell, which Mattek describes as 'like going from a Honda Civic to a Lamborghini or a Ferrari' compared to upgrading from Drew Pettus. He has Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jawan Jennings, and TJ Hawkinson as pass catchers—'certainly the best group of pass catchers that Kyler has ever played with.' Despite being in a quarterback battle with JJ McCarthy, Mattek is specifically targeting Kyler Murray as his primary quarterback, even in some formats as his QB1, indicating high conviction in his 2026 fantasy upside. He also gets a lot of indoor dome games which tends to drive scoring.PositiveRoleJul 27, 2026
Kyler Murray has a demonstrated track record of elevating wide receiver production. He turned DeAndre Hopkins into a top-six PPR receiver and secured a career year from Hollywood Brown. The source cites this historical evidence to support the argument that Murray's arrival with the Vikings will unlock Justin Jefferson's elite receiving talent, countering the narrative that Murray's play is a limiting factor.PositiveProjectionJul 1, 2026
Kyler Murray is mentioned as one of several viable quarterback options available in the draft, part of a deep pool of approximately 17-18 good fantasy football quarterbacks this year.PositiveBreakoutJun 29, 2026
Kyler Murray is highlighted as one of the biggest winning picks in fantasy football in 2026 if KOC gets him back in his bag; he has been a great running quarterback with 572 rushing yards and 5 rushing TDs in 2024, and 819 rushing yards and 11 rushing TDs in 2020.PositiveValueJun 29, 2026
Kyler Murray should be targeted in the quarterback window (QB 9-18) because he runs, despite being cut by the Arizona Cardinals.PositiveValueJun 23, 2026
Listed as one of the late-round quarterback options (12th quarterback off the board) that makes sense to target instead of early QB selection.PositiveValueMay 29, 2026
Murray was a top-12 quarterback every year of his career until last year, when he was a horrible fit for the Drew Petzing system. The Arizona Cardinals were terrible at every level (offensive line, defensive line, wide receivers). With Kevin O'Connell as an 'absolute quarterback whisperer,' Murray should rebound significantly. However, the source sees only a potential leap and does not consider it 'particularly likely' that Murray will add rushing production; he ran frequently at Incarnate Word and Washington State but was not used as a rusher at Miami or in Tennessee last year. The source suggests monitoring preseason and early-season usage to see if Brian Daboll's offense will add rushing production to Murray's game.
