At QB16, gamers have to figure out if there's any juice to squeeze out of the cost. I say, yes... While Murray hasn't been the most efficient thrower, his ability to avoid catastrophic plays puts him ahead of his current competition in Minnesota.

Positive signalProjection

Murray at QB16 offers QB1 upside with superior efficiency and mobility over McCarthy.

At QB16 ADP, Murray offers upside as a potential QB1 finisher in 2026. His career EPA per dropback (0.05) and passing success rate (47.2%) exceed J.J. McCarthy's 2025 marks (-0.14 EPA, 40.4% success rate), while his 6.2% sack rate is significantly better than McCarthy's 10.0%. Murray's rushing rate has consistently ranked in the top 12 among QBs (14.4% in 2025, 8th among all QBs), providing dual-threat upside. Playing in Kevin O'Connell's offense—which historically features high-pace, play-action concepts and pre-snap motion—should elevate Murray's efficiency despite the Vikings' offensive line concerns.
