What happens if Kyler can somewhat match the 2022-2024 Vikings' average of 249 passing yards per game (fifth), while also averaging his career figure of 37 rushing yards per game? Well, then Kyler would be a no-doubter, top-10 fantasy QB with an underrated ceiling.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Murray's Vikings fit offers top-10 QB ceiling with dual-threat upside in O'Connell's system.

Murray's move to the Vikings represents a significant upgrade from Arizona to what NFLPA reports call the best organization. HC Kevin O'Connell's previous QBs produced at elite levels: Kirk Cousins (20.2 fantasy points per game, QB7), Nick Mullens (19.9, QB8), Sam Darnold (19.7, QB8), and Josh Dobbs (17.6, QB17). If Kyler matches the 2022-2024 Vikings' average of 249 passing yards per game (fifth in league) while averaging his career 37 rushing yards per game, he projects as a no-doubter top-10 fantasy QB with underrated ceiling. The Vikings led the league in play-action rate during 2022-2024 and ranked first in 20+ yard attempt success rate. Murray benefits from playing in a dome stadium with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and a competent offensive line.
