Top-12 lock with top-6 upside; best situation of his career with Vikings.
Jared views Kyler Murray as underpriced at QB16 on underdog and would chase him up to QB12 easily. He projects Murray as a good bet to score as a top-12 fantasy quarterback this season, which Murray had done in every season of his career prior to 2024 when he only played five games. Among active quarterbacks, only six (Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Jaden Daniels, Joe Burrow) have scored more fantasy points per game than Murray. The Kevin O'Connell offense is described as the best situation of Murray's career, with top-tier weapons (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jawan Jennings, TJ Hawkinson) and an elite offensive line—a huge upgrade from Arizona. Murray's rushing upside (572 yards, 5 TDs in 2024) combined with O'Connell's track record of generating top-9 QB fantasy points in his first three Vikings teams supports top-6 upside potential. Jared favors Murray over Jared Goff (citing upside vs. safety; Goff would struggle to finish top-8), over Brock Purdy, and over Matthew Stafford (who had 46 passing TDs last year).
