Last year, we only got to see Kyler Murray for five games... I'm not hopeful that Murray begins the 2026 season with a monster game, though. Last year, Green Bay allowed the sixth-fewest yards per attempt, the 14th-lowest passing success rate, and the ninth-fewest fantasy points per dropback to quarterbacks.

Negative signalProjection

Murray faces tough Green Bay defense with Gannon's two-high coverage scheme he struggles against.

Murray played only five games in 2025 before a foot injury sidelined him, but in his previous six seasons he never finished lower than QB12 in fantasy points per game. In his limited 2025 sample, he ranked seventh-lowest in yards per attempt, fourth-lowest in aDOT, and fifth-lowest in hero throw rate. The source is not hopeful for a monster Week 1 game. Green Bay allowed sixth-fewest yards per attempt, 14th-lowest passing success rate, and ninth-fewest fantasy points per dropback to quarterbacks last year. Additionally, defensive coordinator Jonathon Gannon has utilized two-high coverage at the third-highest rate (57.6%) since 2023; against two-high coverage over the last two seasons, Murray ranked 14th-lowest in yards per attempt, 13th-lowest in highly accurate throw rate, and ninth-fewest in fantasy points per dropback among 31 qualifying passers.
