Viking QBs Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy to split reps early on

Jul 28, 2026

The Vikings’ quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy is about to heat up.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his Tuesday press conference that Murray and McCarthy will each take reps with the club’s first-team and second-team offense to begin training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

O’Connell also noted that Minnesota has a date in mind to choose the QB1, though he did not disclose it, according to the story. The story went on to say O'Connell met with everyone to talk about the vision and plan. Murray is fully expected to come away with the job after signing with the Vikings in the offseason. Assuming he wins the job, Murray gets a great supporting cast around him. He'll just need to stay healthy. We rank him 16th among our QBs, making him a solid QB2 option for this season.

Fantasy Impact:

As a result, Albert Breer called the rookie Price a "pivotal figure." We just reported Price has been a big factor so far in the offseason and was getting a lot of work in the passing game. Breer added there is competition at the position and the Seahawks staff is "looking harder at what each guy can do so they can get the guys in the right roles." Price has been a popular early target in dynasty rookie drafts, and figures to get some early attention in redraft leagues as well. Both backs should factor heavily in the offense but it's worth paying attention to what their roles will be.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers: 'zero doubt' 2026 his last year

As he reported to his 22nd NFL training camp Tuesday morning, quarterback Aaron Rodgers affirmed that there's "zero doubt" 2026 is his last season playing football, even as at least one of his Pittsburgh teammates wondered aloud whether Rodgers might change his mind.

"I thought last year might be it," Rodgers said after the Pittsburgh Steelers' conditioning test, echoing the same sentiment he expressed in May that the 2026 season would be his last. "And then Mike [McCarthy] got hired, and I talked to the wife and she said, 'You can do one more year.' I said, 'Well, see if it works out.' And then it kind of all came together."

Fantasy Impact:

Well, here we go again. This will probably end up being weekly news for the next 12 months at this point. But, it's at least worth noting for fantasy owners who may want to plan ahead. For the record, teammate DK Metcalf isn't buying it just yet, according to the story, pretty much saying anything could happen over the next year.
