From the episode
Kyler Murray, who I think there's similar questions of, can they just, do they have to play to their style because they can't see over the line of scrimmage or can they run whatever offense? He's in Minnesota. Why do you like Kyler so much this year? I just like Kevin O'Connell and Justin Jefferson. I mean, it's just been a print fest. It doesn't matter who it was. I remember Sam Darnold, like how egregious he was. And then he was the quarterback eight in this offense. Kirk Cousins was the quarterback seven with Kevin O'Connell for over years. Nick Mullins was the quarterback eight when he got his starts. Josh Dobbs, literally off of a private jet, comes into the facility and doesn't even know the playbook. He was, he averaged almost 18 fantasy points per game as well. The offensive line is healthier this year. Kyler Murray has been a fantasy quarterback. All those guys I just mentioned, they don't run. Like that was all passing stuff. Kyler Murray runs on like those guys. So if we just get like some semblance of the passing numbers that those offenses last four years have done with Minnesota plus 30 ish rush yards per game, which Kyler Murray's average, I'm like, this is a layup line
STACKED’s take
Positive signalValue
Murray's rushing upside plus O'Connell's proven QB-friendly system makes him a strong value.
Kyler Murray to the Vikings is a strong value play because Kevin O'Connell's offense has consistently produced elite fantasy quarterback output regardless of the starter; Sam Darnold was QB8, Kirk Cousins was QB7 over multiple years, Nick Mullins was QB8 in limited starts, and Josh Dobbs averaged nearly 18 fantasy points per game despite not knowing the playbook. Murray adds rushing upside (averaging ~30 rush yards per game) on top of the passing production that has been consistent from the Vikings offense, making him a layup line at his draft price.
