Kyler Murray, heading into his first season with the Vikings after signing as a free agent in March, is one of five players in NFL history to throw for more than 20,000 yards and run for more than 3,000 yards in his seven seasons. Before last season, Murray had finished each of his first six NFL seasons as a top-12 fantasy QB on a points-per-game basis.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Murray's rushing equity (32 career TDs, 91.8 carries/year) makes him a value at QB17.

Murray is one of five players in NFL history to throw for 20,000+ yards and run for 3,000+ yards in seven seasons. He finished each of his first six NFL seasons as a top-12 fantasy QB on a PPG basis and has 32 rushing TDs. In five seasons playing 8+ games, he averaged 91.8 carries, 456 rushing yards, and 4.5 rushing TDs per season. His 2020 QB2 campaign (891 rushing yards, 11 TDs on 133 carries) demonstrates his rushing ceiling. Since 2014, 31 of 34 QBs (90%+) with 100+ rushing attempts finished as top-12 fantasy QBs on PPG basis. Murray is available as QB17 in Round 9, well below his historical production level.
