From the episode

Vikings do the expected name Kyler Murray, their week one starter. For me, looking back, like the quote-unquote competition we talked about last week on this show, it was probably just a charade.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Kyler Murray named Week 1 starter; his rushing upside makes him a strong fantasy target.

Kyler Murray has been named the Vikings' Week 1 starter. While the competition with J.J. McCarthy was likely a charade to manage the locker room, Murray's rushing ability and the Kevin O'Connell scheme make him a strong fantasy asset. Adam Levitan notes that despite Murray's past benching, sub-average quarterbacks have historically produced big fantasy numbers in this system.
