Murray named QB1; consensus projects 3,500–3,600 pass yards, 23.5–24.5 TDs.

Named official QB1 starter by Kevin O'Connell. Consensus fantasy projections for 2026: 3,500–3,600 passing yards, 23.5–24.5 passing TDs, 480–500 rushing yards, and 3.4–3.7 rushing TDs. The source notes Murray is the safer bet and a strong favorite to match or surpass Sam Darnold's 2024 performance with the Arizona Cardinals, though those projections represent nearly 1,000 fewer passing yards and over 10 fewer passing TDs than Darnold achieved.
