Vikings going with QB Kyler Murray as starter

Pro Football Talk

Aug 11 · 12:44 PM EDT

The Vikings’ quarterback competition is over.

Minnesota has named Kyler Murray its starting quarterback, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Related players: J.J. McCarthy

Fantasy Impact:

Murray, the No. 1 pick of the 2019 draft, signed a one-year deal with Minnesota in the offseason with the thought of earning the starting role over J.J. McCarthy. That has now happened before the first preseason game, setting up Murray to take all of the starters’ reps over the next month in preparation for the regular season, the story went on to point out.

From a fantasy standpoint, Murray is in a great situation with HC Kevin O'Connell, and a supporting cast that blows away anything he had in Arizona. Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, T.J. Hockenson, and Aaron Jones combine to form one of the deepest receiving groups in the league, and O'Connell has proven he can build an offense around his quarterback's strengths. The rushing remains elite for fantasy purposes: Murray averaged 35.0 yards per start on the ground last season, and that kind of dual-threat ability in O'Connell's system is a dangerous combination. The elephant in the room is durability. Murray has missed an average of 6.8 games per season over the last four years, and that's not a blip, it's a pattern. Murray makes for a nice QB2 option but we suggest a backup plan if you draft him.

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

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.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will not play again during 2025 season

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray will not play again this season, coach Jonathan Gannon said.

Related Players: Jacoby Brissett

Fantasy Impact:

This is something we probably could have surmised after so much time off the field, but at least we finally have closure. The odds that Murray plays for Arizona in 2026 are looking quite grim as well, so keep your eyes peeled for that bit of news over the next few months. Consider Brissett a mid-tier QB2 for the rest of the season, with spots as a QB streamer in positive matchups.

Cardinals don't open window for QB Kyler Murray (foot)

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has missed the last four games while on injured reserve, which means he is now eligible to return to practice and be activated to play in games.

That’s not going to happen this week, however. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said at his Monday press conference that Murray is “not quite there yet” in his recovery from a foot injury.

Related players: Jacoby Brissett

Fantasy Impact:

When Murray was injured, there was a lot of speculation that he might not return to the lineup again this season even if he’s healthy and that the two sides are on track to part ways when the season is over, the story said. The story added, during an appearance on Arizona Sports Monday, Gannon said that he has no objection to playing Murray if the quarterback is well enough to play. Brissett will get at least one more week as the starter and it will be a later Sunday game at home against the Rams.
