Kyler Murray is one of the best picks in fantasy as the QB17
Kyler Murray is the buy low of all QBs. Going from the Cardinals (one of the worst orgs in American sports) to the Vikings (one of the best per NFLPA reports) can't be overstated, especially while HC Kevin O'Connell and Justin Jefferson are leading the way. Before 2025's disaster, this is how many fantasy points the Vikings' starting QBs with KOC have averaged and where that would've ranked last year in fantasy: Kirk Cousins (20.2, QB7), Nick Mullens (19.9, QB8), Sam Darnold (19.7, QB8), Josh Dobbs (17.6, QB17). That was largely without rushing!!! What happens if Kyler can somewhat match the 2022-2024 Vikings' average of 249 passing yards per game (5th), while also averaging his career average of 37 rushing yards per game??? Well, then Kyler would be a no-doubter top-10 fantasy QB with an underrated ceiling. Beyond how pass-heavy this offense is, Kyler will also benefit from the Vikings' league-leading play action rate from those 2022-2024 seasons. Since 2022, Kyler has a 51% success rate on play action versus 43% without it. The Vikings also were 1st in success rate on passes with 20+ air yards (46%) from 2022-2024. On 20+ yard passes since 2022, Kyler was down at 31% while throwing to worse WRs, behind a worse OL. Long story short, Kyler has a lot of prove in a contract season, and the environment has never been better. Never. Kyler is set up to bounce back to his career baseline of 18.9 fantasy points per game (QB11) with so much room for more. His QB17 price tag on Underdog and Yahoo are layups. Kyler will be one of my most drafted players. ... with confidence. As a bonus for redraft, Kyler starts with the Packers (without Micah Parsons) and Bears.
